SWEET RICE MEATBALLS

Steps:
- Mix all the ingredients together except the sweet rice. Keep the mixture in the refrigerator until ready to use, so the meatballs will hold their shape. Take 1 1/2 heaping tablespoons of the meat mixture and quickly form into a ball. The balls should be about the size of a golf ball. Put one tablespoon of sweet rice in a strainer. By making left, right, front and back motions with the strainer, roll the meatball in the strainer until it is evenly coated with the rice. Move the strainer in circular motions a few times if the shape of the meatball is not even enough. Put the coated meatballs in a steamer, fill the bottom pot half full and steam for 15 minutes, starting the timer only after the water in the pot has come to a boil on high heat.
RICE MEATBALLS
"I first made these meatballs when our children were small, and they just loved them," notes Mary Kelso of Hannibal, Missouri. "I occasionally use cream of mushroom soup instead of tomato soup, and that variation is delicious, too."

GREEK MEATBALLS AND RICE SKILLET
Some of the key flavors of Greek cuisine-mint, parsley, feta, garlic, lemon-infuse this simple skillet meal that delivers big flavors without going overboard on calories. A one-pot meal that cooks up in about an hour, it's made from a base of basic ingredients, like rice, chicken broth, panko bread crumbs and ground beef. And yet, this meal is far from basic. Skillet cooking ensures that the meatballs stay juicy, with the added bonus of extra-flavorful rice. Serving them up with fresh finishing touches like chopped tomatoes, lemon zest and a sprinkle of parsley makes for a delicious escape from routine!
