Submitted by Kohtzy

"The combination of rice and ground beef gives these meatballs the appearance of little porcupines. We love these served over pasta. Enjoy!"

These were very tasty. I did add a touch of brown sugar to the sauce but otherwise followed the instructions. They were a little wet to roll but I let them sit for a little while before browning and it went well. Thank you for posting. Made for Spring PAC 2013.
