Porcupine meatballs are a little different since we switch out breadcrumbs for our Minute Rice®. Aside from this small change, they remain pretty traditional.
The first step is to sauté some onions to add flavour to your mixture. When ready, add them to a combination of ground beef, rice, egg and seasonings. Ultimately, we add about a quarter of a cup of water to ensure that the meatballs bind nicely while keeping their moisture.
There are various terms for how eggs should be added when cooking or baking. For slightly beaten, you will usually beat the egg with a fork or a whisk just until the egg whites and yolks are blended. The goal for slightly beaten eggs is to ensure that the white and yolk do not remain separate.
Once you have your eggs all sorted and your mixture is ready, form the meatballs and heat some tomato sauce in a large skillet. Then, add the meatballs to the sauce, boil, and relax! After simmering, the meatballs will be ready to eat.
