Porcupine Meatballs




This was one of my favorites growing up. 

Meatballs:
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup uncooked long-grain rice
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Sauce:
1 large can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2/3 cup water

Directions:
Mix first 8 ingredients. Mix well by hand. Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls. Place in casserole dish. Salt & pepper the meatballs. Mix next four ingredients in bowl or large measuring cup. Pour over meatballs. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 1 hour. Serve over rice.  I typically pair this with brussel sprouts or cabbage and a good garlic bread. This is a very quick prep and most of the cooking time is spent in the oven so that I can be doing other things. Feeds 4-6.
