PORCUPINE MEATBALLS
These well-seasoned porcupine meatballs in a rich tomato sauce are one of my mom's best main dishes. I used to love this meal when I was growing up. I made it at home for our children, and now my daughters make it for their families. -Darlis Wilfer, West Bend, Wisconsin

MELINDA'S PORCUPINE MEATBALLS
This is, by far, the best recipe for porcupine meatballs I have ever had. This is a recipe that was given to my mom when she married back in 1970. The recipe also includes cooking directions for stovetop cooking or cooking in the oven. Hope you enjoy as much as our family does.

PORCUPINE MEATBALLS
Beef, raw rice, onion and Italian seasoning come together in this simple weeknight dinner of porcupine meatballs. Where'd the name come from? While the meatballs bake, the grains of rice pop out and look incredibly similar to porcupine quills. Simmer the meatballs in a quick homemade tomato sauce for a delicious, family-friendly dish.

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.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with the rice, water, chopped onion, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
- Shape the ground beef mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls. Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to help make them uniform in size. (Or you can weigh them as you shape them.) Place them in an ungreased 2-quart shallow baking dish.
- Make the sauce by mixing together the tomato sauce, water, and Worcestershire sauce in a measuring cup or bowl.
- Now it's time to cook the meatballs. Continue reading for the oven method, or scroll down to the stovetop method.
- Pour the sauce over the porcupine meatballs, cover the baking dish tightly with foil, and bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 55 minutes.
- Uncover and bake the meatballs 15 to 20 minutes longer, until bubbling and cooked through. Serve and enjoy.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to a large deep skillet over medium heat.
- Add the shaped meatballs and cook, turning, until the meatballs are evenly browned. Drain and discard the drippings.
- Add the tomato sauce ingredients to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Lower the heat and cover the pan. Continue cooking for about 45 minutes. Check occasionally and add water, if necessary. Serve and enjoy.

My dad created this recipe in college. And has been a family favorite ever since! For added flavor, add seasoning salt to beef, or use bison.

ULTRA SIMPLE PORCUPINE MEATBALLS IN TOMATO SAUCE
I looked around and all of the porcupine meatball recipes that have been posted include extra and (I think) unnecessary ingredients like Worcestershire sauce. This is the recipe my family has been using since I was a kid. They're very easy to make, taste great with ground beef or turkey, and freeze well. A couple of notes: if you use onion, chop it so it isn't only about double the size of the rice (or less). If it's too much larger it might not be as easy to form the meatballs and could be weird to bite in to. The rice you use should be uncooked Minute Rice, the kind that cooks in like 5 minutes or so.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine meat, rice, onion, egg and one can of soup.
- Roll into meatballs that are approximately 2 to 3 inches in diameter and put in a 9x13 inch glass baking dish.
- Combine second can of tomato soup with water (only about half as much as you would to make it into tomato soup) and pour half over the meatballs in baking dish.
- Bake 45 minutes. Make sure you're keeping an eye on them. Cut one meatball in half to determine if it is cooked all the way through.
- Heat remaining tomato soup and water mixture and pour over meatballs when serving.
BAKED PORCUPINE MEATBALLS IN VODKA CREAM SAUCE
This afternoon I was trying to decide what to make for dinner, and suddenly I found myself craving good old porcupine meatballs. But I couldn't make plain meatballs, no sir! Here's the recipe I made up, and it came out wonderfully well. An adult update of one of our childhood favorites. Very tasty!

Steps:
- Combine the beef, rice, onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, and garlic powder in mixing bowl.
- Form into 1 1/2-inch balls and place in a lightly-buttered 2 1/2-quart casserole.
- Combine soup, water, vodka, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, white pepper, and ground caraway in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
- Pour sauce over meat balls, cover, and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.
- Makes 6 servings.
- Note: To make caraway powder, use a mortar and pestle to crush caraway seed into powder. Also, don't use a pearl or other thick rice for this, or it won't cook well inside the meatballs - converted rice (not "instant") is what I use.
