There are so many recipes for Porcupine Meatballs so I thought I would throw in my 2 cents worth in. Porcupine Meatballs got their name because of using the proper rice. If you use long grain or instant or converted you won't get the 'Porcupine' surprise. I recommend a short grain rice and specifically I use Cal Rose brand. I think an Aborio would work as well. I give the rice a rinse in a mesh colander before mixing the meatballs. This is a recipe every kid loves, including DH, the biggest kid of all. Try both variations and then try your own combination to come up with what your family likes best.

Steps:
- Pre heat oven to 350.
- Mix meat, rice, milk, parsley, onion, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Spray a 13x9 pan with cooking spray.
- Form meatballs into one ounce balls (I use a small cookie scoop). If you use the right size scoop you will fill the baking pan perfectly.
- Mix soup and water together until well blended. Pour over meatballs.
- Cover baking dish tightly with foil.
- Bake for 1 hour until hot and bubbly.
- This recipe works great for a buffet too. You can make them with barbeque sauce for a big yummy change. Have some frilled toothpicks standing by and watch them disappear!
- Hope you and your family like this variation of 'Porky-Pine' meatballs.
