PORCUPINE MEATBALLS



Porcupine Meatballs image

Beef, raw rice, onion and Italian seasoning come together in this simple weeknight dinner of porcupine meatballs. Where'd the name come from? While the meatballs bake, the grains of rice pop out and look incredibly similar to porcupine quills. Simmer the meatballs in a quick homemade tomato sauce for a delicious, family-friendly dish.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef, preferably 80/20 (80 percent lean)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 small onion, finely diced
1/2 cup long-grain white rice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
One 28-ounce can tomato puree
1/4 cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Use your hands to mix the ground beef, egg, onion, rice, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of the Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon of the garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Roll the meat mixture into 24 balls (each about 2 heaping tablespoons and 1 inch in diameter).
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, high-sided oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the meatballs and cook until lightly browned on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium, then stir in the tomato puree, ketchup, remaining 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, remaining 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper until the sauce is combined and meatballs are well coated.
  • Cover with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Bake until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink, the rice is tender and poking out and the sauce has reduced slightly, about 50 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and top with more chopped parsley.

This is, by far, the best recipe for porcupine meatballs I have ever had. This is a recipe that was given to my mom when she married back in 1970. The recipe also includes cooking directions for stovetop cooking or cooking in the oven. Hope you enjoy as much as our family does.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST PORCUPINE MEATBALLS



The Absolute Best Porcupine Meatballs image

Soft & tender well-seasoned meatballs baked in a rich tomato sauce make this the perfect classic comfort food for family dinners.

Provided by TKWAdmin

Categories     Meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 1/2 cups cooked, cooled wild grain rice blend, *See note
2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
1 XL Egg
1/2 medium onion, minced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 slices of bread, torn
1/4 cup milk
1 23 ounce can condensed tomato soup
1 cup beef stock or water
8 ounces RedPack tomato paste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. In a bowl, add all sauce ingredients and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl add the bread and milk and gently press down. Allow to soak for ~5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl add the rest of the meatball ingredients. Add the panade mixture (milk and bread) to the bowl. Without overworking the mixture, gently mix just to combine. The mixture should be wet but hold a shape when you form it into a ball. Scoop enough meat mixture to form a 2" round ball (I use a large cookie scoop to measure out my meatballs). Wet your hands and shape. Damp hands are a trick to keeping the mixture from sticking to your hands! *See post for freezing instructions.
  • Place the meatballs in a 3-4 quart baking dish or 9×13" baking pan. They can touch. Repeat until all of the meatballs are shaped and in a pan. If necessary, use 2 pans if you do not have a large enough pan.
  • Pour the mixture over top of the meatballs. Cover the meatballs with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Carefully remove the cover and bake for another 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 165F.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before plating.
  • Store leftovers in a lidded container in the fridge for up to a week.

BEST SWEDISH MEATBALLS



Best Swedish Meatballs image

Our family has been using this recipe for more than 40 years. The tender meatballs are made with a combination of beef, veal and pork, then spiced with nutmeg and ginger. If your family likes their meatballs a little milder, reduce the nutmeg to 1/2 teaspoon. Coffee adds nice color to the gravy, which is delicious over noodles.-Rev.
