Mom's Rice & Meatballs (With Pickles) image

My husband's Mother has been making this recipe for years and I don't know exactly where she found it, but he seems to want me to make it for every special event in his life. Keep in mind that the saltine crackers, condensed soup and pickles all have a lot of salt, so you don't need to add a lot to the meat. I've made this recipe in a pot on the stove (simmer about an hour) or in the crock pot on low for 4 hours; works well either way. Enjoy!

Time 4h10m

Yield 8 Small Meatballs, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb ground beef
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 small onion, diced
4 dill pickle spears, diced
1 cup saltine crackers, crushed
1 teaspoon dried parsley
salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 (8 ounce) cans condensed cream of celery soup
8 ounces water
2 tablespoons pickle juice

Steps:

  • Mix ground beef with egg, milk, worcestershire sauce, onions, 1/4 cup diced dill pickles, cracker crumbs, parsley, dash of salt and pepper.
  • Form into meatballs and brown all sides in frying pan.
  • Add cream of celery soup to stock pot or crock pot with 1 can water, remaining pickles, and pickle juice and stir until blended.
  • When the meatballs are browned on all sides, drain any grease and transfer them to the soup mixture.
  • Try to cover them all with the soup for better cooking results.
  • Cover with lid and simmer for 1 hour on the stove or for 4 hours on low in a crock pot.
  • Tip: Stir often to make sure that the meatballs are not sticking to the pot, and the soup is not boiling.

These rice meatballs were delicious! The meatballs were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was flavorful and tangy. I loved the pickles in the sauce. They added a nice crunch and tanginess. I will definitely be making these again!

These meatballs were just okay. The flavor was a bit bland, and the pickles in the sauce were a bit too sour for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added more spices to the meatball mixture and used a different type of pickle.

These rice meatballs were a hit! My family loved them, and they were so easy to make. I used ground beef, but I think you could use any type of ground meat. I also added some extra spices to the meatball mixture, like garlic powder, onion powder, and
