Porcupine Meatballs

ChipotleChick's Note:

Great meatballs that have rice in them, and are simmered in a tomato-Worcestershire sauce. Definitely a kid pleaser; these were my all time favorites as a kid, and are to my kids now! All you have to do is cook up a vegetable to go on the side and you have a complete meal.

These were yummy... I had to add some breadcrumbs because the mixture seemed a bit soft and they turned out beautiful!

very good. i doubled it but cooked it in the oven like another person did. came out pretty dry so added extra water about 10 min before serving. came out fine. kids loved it. next time i will add more water since the rice isnt cooked berfore cooking.
