On blustery spring days in Corfu, New York, Loni Fancher can rely on her mother’s microwave meatball dish to warm up family and friends in no time. LONI’S TIP: “When it’s available, I like to substitute ground venison for the ground beef in this recipe. Tasty!”
Ingredients:
1 egg
1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound ground beef
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 cup uncooked instant rice
1 cup sliced onion
1 cup chopped green pepper
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk the egg, chili powder, salt and pepper. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Place in a 2-qt. microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes or until meat is no longer pink; drain.
2. Stir in the tomatoes, rice, onion and green pepper. Cover and microwave on high for 5-7 minutes or until rice and vegetables are tender. Yield: 3-4 servings.
