Four Ingredient Porcupine Meatballs

By srumbel

There are only 4 ingredients needed to make this tasty treasure come to life. And one of them is water. Serve these Porcupine Meatballs with Cheesy Au’ Gratin Potatoes or this delightful Loaded Mashed Potato Casserole. I also have a new potato recipe coming up for you on Wednesday that goes perfectly well with these.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 (6.8 ounce) box Beef Rice A Roni
• 1 egg
• 2 1/4 C water

Preparation

Step 1

1. Grab 1 pound of ground beef and toss it into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

2. Pour 1 box of Beef Rice A Roni into the bowl. Be sure to only use the rice and pasta that are inside the box. Save the seasoning packet for later on.

3. Add an egg to the bowl and mix everything together with your pretty little hands. Just mix it all in now, no need to be shy. Make sure everything gets well combined.

4. Shape the mixture into 25 golf ball sized meatballs.

5. Heat up a large, deep skillet over medium high heat. Carefully place the meatballs in the pan. Allow them to get browned along the top and bottom.

6. Pour 2 1/4 cups of water into a large liquid measuring cup. Add the seasoning packet from the Rice A Roni box to the water and stir it in to combine.

7. Pour the liquid over the top of the browned meatballs. Reduce the heat to heat to medium low and allow the liquid to come to a simmer. Cover the pan and let the meatballs simmer away for 30-40 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice and pasta in the meatballs are cooked through.

Serve and enjoy!
