Porcupine Meatballs

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

We like our sauce a little sweeter (and plentiful) so we doubled the tomato soup and added 4 T of brown sugar and 2 T lemon juice.

Exactly the recipe I was looking for! I hadn't had "porkypine balls" since I was a little kid and just got a craving for them. The only thing I did differently was bake them covered at 350 for an hour (my mom's directions for nearly all recipes) instead of cooking them on the stove top. They came out perfectly! Thank you!

Made this for dinner a couple of nights ago and it was a good change of pace from our regular dinner ideas. Neither my husband nor I had ever had porcupine meatballs before. They really do taste a lot like meatloaf (which wasn't a bad thing). The only change I made was to substitute 2 cans of tomato sauce for the tomato soup. I didn't end up with too much sauce at the end, but that's okay because the sauce that was there I avoided because it seemed a little greasy for us from cooking the 80/20 beef directly in it. My husband had leftovers today as a meatball sub. Thanks for the idea, I can definitely see us making these again!!!

A very simple and flavorful dish to prepare, no need to change a thing, was quite enjoyable. My older kids had never tasted these and they loved them, thanks for sharing!

Tasted like little meatloaves(balls). They fell apart, but no biggie, just made the gravy taste even better. I served with peas and yeast rolls-YUM! I will make again. Also, I made about 8 large meatballs.

Wow, in all my life of eating porcupine balls I have never had them with tomato soup! My mom always made them with cream of mushroom soup, a little milk and pinch of nutmeg. Will have to try these out!

This is a lovely, classic recipe and I'm so glad to see that it hasn't been altered by time to include crazy ingredients! We've been enjoying these meatballs for decade and have them as they are and also by adding them to cabbage soup. Easy, inexpensive and fantastic taste!

I brown them slightly in the pan before adding the 'sauce' so they don't get so mushy. We love these with some parmesan cheese mmmm

I really enjoyed this. My husband just thought it was "ehh". My son well, he didn't care for it and he usually like everything. I think that this recipe was good and will try it again. I substituted ground beef for turkey not sure if that was the really for the chilly response. Two thumbs up from me.

Delicious! I leftout the onions and parsley because of my family's preferences and doubled the sauce. Served over mashed potatoes and everyonoe loved it!

This is really good comfort food, and not just for kids!! I added a bit of garlic powder to the meat mixture, scooped it out with my cookie scoop. To the tomato soup, I added a can of water instead of the called for 1/2 cup, and an 8-oz can of Tomato sauce. I followed hints and placed into boiling sauce, and turned gingerly once. They were everything bragged about. Thanks for the post.

My husband has been after me for months to find the meatball recipe from his youth. After several failed attempts, I have found it! Thank you so much! I prepared according to the recipe, and can't think of a single thing to change about it. Just simply awesome!

I add cheddar cheese into the meatball mixture and to the top of the dish before I put it on the oven. That's how my mom made it growing up and the cheese really makes this dish rock!

These tasted good. My kids ate them without little arguement, so that is a plus. I love the fact that they were so simple to make. Thank you for a great recipe!

These tasted great, but completely fell apart. I will have to rethink this one, maybe adding another egg to hold the meatballs together, before I make it again.
