Mom prepared these easy meatballs with a thick gravy often when I was growing up, relates Marcy Paden of Louisville, Nebraska. Now I make them for my family as a nice change of pace from hamburgers. With just five ingredients - including a boxed rice mix - they're a snap to whip up. Ingredients:
1 package (6.8 ounces) beef-flavored rice mix |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1 pound ground turkey or beef |
2-1/2 cups boiling water |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
3 tablespoons cold water |
Directions:
1. Set contents of rice seasoning packet aside. In a large bowl, combine rice and egg. Crumble beef over rice mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-in. balls. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the meatballs on all sides.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine reserved seasoning packet and boiling water. Add to skillet; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until the rice is tender. Combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth; add to skillet. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Yield: 8-10 servings.
