directions

  • Thaw beef, chop onions into small pieces (Some people prefer minced).
  • In a bowl combine beef, onion and egg.
  • Mix well with hands.
  • Roll into "meat balls". Any size will do. My husband loves them the size of a tennis ball.
  • Put rice into large bowl.
  • Roll "meatballs in rice so they are coated (making them little porcupines).
  • Place in bake ware dish.
  • Pour both cans of tomato soup into another bowl and mix with one can of water.
  • Pour over porcupine balls.
  • Turn porcupine balls over and spoon some of the soup over them.
  • Cover and bake at 350°C for 30 minutes, uncover and bake until meat is well done (approximately 30 minutes).
