Hamburger and Rice Porcupine Balls

Provided by: Robin Reckard

I can remember my mom making this quite a bit when I was growing up. I was a bit of a picky eater but even I would go back for more porcupines. I liked it best when she made it with homemade rolls and a big garden salad. I find myself making it quite often for my own family.

How To Make:

Ingredients:

1 - 2 pounds of hamburger
1/2 cup uncooked rice (I use white)
3/4 cup milk
1 beaten egg
1 - 2 tablespoons of finely chopped onion
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups of canned diced tomatoes (sometimes I add a little extra tomato juice)

Directions:

Mix all the ingredients together except the tomatoes and make them into small balls.

Brown them in a hot skillet.

Pour the tomatoes over and cook covered for about 45 minutes. (The rice will be popped out when they are done.)
