These were a favorite of mine when I was growing up. This is taken from my family cookbook. I've made them with ground turkey also - very tastey! Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef |
1/2 cup rice |
1 medium onion, finely chopped |
1 beaten egg |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
pepper |
1/4 teaspoon chili powder |
1/4 teaspoon italian seasoning |
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can tomato soup |
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce |
2 1/2 cups water |
Directions:
1. Mix together first eight ingredients and form into small meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter).
2. In large skillet or Dutch oven, mix tomato soup and tomato sauce with water. Stir to mix completely.
3. Bring sauce to boil, and drop in meatballs, making sure they are well covered in the sauce.
4. Lower heat to simmer and cover with close-fitting lid.
5. Gently stir after 20 minutes.
6. Continue to cook with pan covered for 20 minutes longer.
7. They are finished when rice is tender and sticks out like little spines on the meatballs.
