Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Tomato Sauce Porcupine Meatballs.
Step 1
To start your delicious meatball journey, grab a large mixing bowl and combine the ground beef, instant rice, chopped onion, and egg.
Step 2
Get in there with your hands and mix everything together until it’s well blended—this is where the magic begins! Once your mixture is ready, shape it into meatballs that are about the size of tennis balls; this will give you hearty bites that are sure to satisfy.
Step 3
Next, take a large pot and stir together the tomato sauce and water, bringing it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 4
As the sauce bubbles away, carefully add your beautifully shaped meatballs into the pot.
Step 5
Cover it up and lower the heat to medium-low, allowing the meatballs to simmer in that rich sauce.
Step 6
Let them cook for around 35 minutes, or until they’re no longer pink in the center.
Step 7
To ensure they’re perfectly cooked, use an instant-read thermometer; it should read 160°F (70°C) when inserted into the center of a meatball.
Step 8
Once they’re done, gently remove the meatballs from the pot and place them on a plate.
Step 9
For a delightful finishing touch, cut each meatball in half and ladle some of that luscious sauce over them before serving.
Step 10
Enjoy your homemade meatballs, bursting with flavor and warmth, perfect for sharing with family and friends!.
