Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
2 box beef flavored rice a roni
2 eggs

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Mix ground meats with rice/vermicelli mixes; save the seasoning packet
  • 2. Add eggs. Form into meatballs. I tend to like my meatballs on the large size but that is all according to preference.
  • 3. Brown meatballs in skillet and transfer to baking dish.At this point, save the skillet with the drippings for later. I have a clay pot that I use to make meatballs and baked beans in.
  • 4. Mix rice seasoning mixes with 4 cups warm tap water. Pour over meatballs. Adjust water accordingly so that meatballs are covered.
  • 5. Cover dish and bake in oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on size of meatballs, until meatballs are done and rice is done.
  • 6. Take some of the broth left after removing meatballs and deglaze your pan that the meatballs were browned in and let it reduce to make a delicious pan sauce.
