Porcupine Meatballs
Report
This Porcupine Meatball recipe is a fun twist on the traditional meatball recipe. The tender meatballs are made with a combination of ground beef, white rice, and seasonings with fresh parsley, and they're cooked in a simple tomato sauce that packs a ton of flavor!

Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ½ cup long grain rice uncooked
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup finely diced onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley divided
- 2 Tablespoons canola oil
Sauce
- 1 (15-ounce) can condensed tomato soup
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients and set it aside.
- Place the ground beef, rice, egg, onions, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce and 2 tablespoons of the parsley in a medium-sized bowl and mix until just combined.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat
- Form the meatball mixture into even-sized balls (about 2 tablespoons each or 1½ inches in diameter).
- Working in batches, add the meatballs to the pan and turn them every 1-1½ minutes to brown all sides.
- When the meatballs are all browned, pour the sauce over them. Cover and simmer on low, stirring occasionally, for 35–40 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and the rice is tender.
- Top the meatballs with the remaining parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Storage: Once your cooked meatballs have fully cooled to room temperature, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Freezing: For longer storage, porcupine meatballs can be frozen. Place them in a freezer-safe airtight container or a heavy-duty freezer bag. Label the container with the date, and you can freeze them for up to 3 months.
