Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon unrefined coconut oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 pound ground beef (85/15)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 large egg
1/4 cup uncooked instant rice
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
One 15-ounce can tomato sauce
1 cup drained sauerkraut
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning

Steps:

  • Heat 1 teaspoon coconut oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • In a large bowl, combine the beef, onions, garlic, egg, rice, breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and stir until well combined. Scoop the meatballs using a 2-tablespoon or 1-ounce scoop and put on a plate or baking sheet until ready to sear. You should have about 20 meatballs.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil in the Dutch oven over medium heat and working in batches, brown the meatballs, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the pot and drain the fat.
  • Return the Dutch oven to medium heat, add the tomato sauce and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in the sauerkraut, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper, to taste. Put the meatballs into the sauce in one layer. Turn the heat to medium low, cover and simmer until meatballs are no longer pink on the inside and the rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

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.

LINDA'S FANTABULOUS PORKY-PINE MEATBALLS



Linda's Fantabulous Porky-Pine Meatballs image

There are so many recipes for Porcupine Meatballs so I thought I would throw in my 2 cents worth in. Porcupine Meatballs got their name because of using the proper rice. If you use long grain or instant or converted you won't get the 'Porcupine' surprise. I recommend a short grain rice and specifically I use Cal Rose brand. I think an Aborio would work as well. I give the rice a rinse in a mesh colander before mixing the meatballs. This is a recipe every kid loves, including DH, the biggest kid of all. Try both variations and then try your own combination to come up with what your family likes best.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork (or sausage, or use all beef or ground poultry)
1/2 cup short-grain rice
2/3 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped fine (fresh or dried)
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 (10 ounce) can tomato soup (or use cream of mushroom for a change)
3/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Pre heat oven to 350.
  • Mix meat, rice, milk, parsley, onion, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  • Spray a 13x9 pan with cooking spray.
  • Form meatballs into one ounce balls (I use a small cookie scoop). If you use the right size scoop you will fill the baking pan perfectly.
  • Mix soup and water together until well blended. Pour over meatballs.
  • Cover baking dish tightly with foil.
  • Bake for 1 hour until hot and bubbly.
  • This recipe works great for a buffet too. You can make them with barbeque sauce for a big yummy change. Have some frilled toothpicks standing by and watch them disappear!
  • Hope you and your family like this variation of 'Porky-Pine' meatballs.
