Description

A delightful twist on standard meatballs, combining tender meat, wholesome rice, and tangy tomato sauce for a comforting dish.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1/2 cup uncooked rice
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine ground beef, uncooked rice, onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and parsley.
  2. Form the mixture into meatballs.
  3. Place meatballs in a skillet and pour tomato sauce over them.
  4. Simmer on medium-low heat for 30 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and rice is tender.
