Porcupines

Porcupines
From: Flutterby

Meatballs:
1 package each lean hamburger and ground pork
3/4 cup of rice (cooked or if you have minute rice uncooked is fine)
1 onion, chopped
paprika
poultry seasoning
garlic powder
worchestershire sauce

Sauce:
plain tomato sauce
worchestershire sauce
1/2 cup water

Mix all the ingredients for the meatballs in a bowl. If the rice is uncooked, add some water to this also. For measurements of the spices I use a few dashes of the worchestershire and just liberally sprinkle in everything else (I don't measure, they always turn out fine). Roll the mix into meatballs about 1" in diameter and place in a baking dish (we have these). Mix together tomato sauce, worchestershire sauce and water. Pour over meatballs (it should pretty much cover the meatballs, you can thin it a little more with water or add more tomato sauce if you don't have enough).

Bake for about 45 minutes in an oven at 400F. You could also put these in a crock pot to cook and I don't always use the pork but I like how it tastes.

We serve it up with pasta and lots of veggies (mm I have brocolli today..) and they make lots so I freeze them and can usually get a few meals out of it.
