Porcupine Meatballs

Submitted by HannahSve

"NOT made with porcupine meat. :) The ground beef and rice mixture makes them look porcupine-y. A hit with kids! This version is a little sweeter and can be cooked 3 ways! (Cooking time is for skillet. Crock Pot and Oven times vary.)"

These were good, but I though the sauce was a little bland. I will try the meatballs again with a different sauce. Reviewed for Spring PAC 2010.
