Preparation Steps
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, rice, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
Shape the mixture into meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.
In a large skillet, pour 1.5 cups of tomato sauce to cover the bottom. Arrange the meatballs in the skillet, then cover them with the remaining tomato sauce.
Cover and simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes, ensuring the meat is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your delicious porcupine meatballs!
