Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, rice, water, onion, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning and pepper.
- Shape the meat mixture into balls approximately 1-1 ½ inches in diameter balls, 20-22 meatballs, and put in the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the tomato sauce, water, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the meatballs so all the meatballs are coated in the sauce.
- Put meatballs in a preheated oven and cook for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove from the oven and serve the meatballs and sauce over rice, noodles or mashed potatoes.
Notes
- FRIDGE: Place leftover meatballs into an airtight container with leftover sauce. Allow to cool completely and store in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- FREEZER: Freeze meatballs in a single layer on a baking sheet and then transfer to an airtight container with sauce. Freeze leftovers for 2-3 months and allow to thaw completely before reheating.
