Porcupine Meatballs Baked In Chili Sauce Recipes

CHILI-SPICED PORCUPINE MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350.
• In a bowl, combine the rice, water, onion, salt, celery salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and 1/2 tsp chili powder. Add the beef and mix with your hands until thoroughly combined.
• In a separate bowl, combine the tomato sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 tsp chili powder.
• Pour a thin layer of sauce into the bottom of an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking dish. Form the meat mixture into 1 1/2 inch meatballs and place in a single layer into the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over top. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• Bake at 350 for approximately 45 minutes or until rice is fully cooked.

PORCUPINE MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Use your hands to mix the ground beef, egg, onion, rice, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of the Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon of the garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Roll the meat mixture into 24 balls (each about 2 heaping tablespoons and 1 inch in diameter).
• Heat the olive oil in a large, high-sided oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the meatballs and cook until lightly browned on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium, then stir in the tomato puree, ketchup, remaining 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, remaining 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper until the sauce is combined and meatballs are well coated.
• Cover with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Bake until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink, the rice is tender and poking out and the sauce has reduced slightly, about 50 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and top with more chopped parsley.

• Stir tomato sauce and water together in a large pot; bring too a boil. Gently lie meatballs into the sauce, place cover on the pot, and reduce heat to medium-low.
• Cook until meatballs are no longer pink in the center, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Put meatballs on a plate, cut each into halves, and ladle sauce over the meatballs to serve.
