PORCUPINES IN MUSHROOM SAUCE
Another family recipe - I noticed that all of the recipes for porcupines use a tomato sauce, and thought I'd post our alternative. Cooking the meatballs in the microwave gets rid of a lot of fat - I also cook meatballs for spaghetti in this fashion. I've made this with reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup and with ground turkey - both work well, and don't have much effect on the final dish. Prep time includes time to microwave the meatballs

Steps:
- Combine the hamburger, egg, onion, rice, salt, and pepper and blend well.
- Form into small meatballs.
- Place meatballs in a glass pie dish and cover with a microwave-safe plate.
- Microwave on high for 9 minutes.
- When done remove from microwave carefully (it will be very hot, and will make a lot of steam when you remove the cover plate).
- Pour the fat out and discard.
- Oooh, look at all the fat you got rid of!
- Combine the 2 cans of soup with 1/2 cup water in a crockpot.
- Add the meatballs and cook for 1-2 hours or until the rice has softened (not to long, though, or the rice will absorb all of the moisture and you'll just have one large mass).
- Serve over mashed potatoes.
