How to make Four Ingredient Porcupine Meatballs
Step 1: Into a medium-sized mixing bowl, place 1 pound of ground beef. Pour in 1 box of Beef Rice A Roni (only the rice and pasta). Set the seasoning packet aside for later.
Step 2: To the bowl, add the egg. Using your hands, mix everything well until combined. Then, form the mixture into 25 golf ball-sized meatballs.
Step 3: Carefully place the meatballs in a hot large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the top and bottom is browned.
Step 4: In a large measuring cup, pour 2 1/4 cups of water. Then, add the packet of seasoning from the Rice A Roni box. Stir well. Pour this over the meatballs. Adjust the heat to medium-low and let the liquid come to a simmer. Then, put the lid on and simmer for about 30 to 40 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed and everything is completely cooked.
