RICE BALLS A LA TIM

Steps:

• Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the garlic until fragrant and soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in the ground beef. Cook and stir the meat, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks, until browned and the meat is no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. Drain off excess grease.
• Place hot cooked rice, ground beef, salt and pepper, and 1/2 cup of pasta sauce in a bowl, and mix thoroughly together. Mix in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese until mozzarella cheese melts. Scoop up handfuls of rice mixture, and gently form into 2 1/2-inch balls. Place balls on a baking sheet, and refrigerate until cool and firm, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Remove the rice balls from the refrigerator, and roll each in beaten egg and then bread crumbs to thoroughly coat. Return to baking sheet, and bake until the outside of the rice balls is crispy, about 25 minutes. Heat 1 1/2 cups of pasta sauce in a saucepan over medium heat, and cover rice balls with heated sauce to serve.

BEEF AND RICE MEATBALLS

Steps:

• In a blender, mix the contents of the can of tomatoes, clove of garlic and water.
• Heat the oil over low heat in a pot. Add the tomato blend and serrano pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce to low heat.
• While the sauce cooks, mix the ground beef, onion, pepper, salt, egg, Worcestershire sauce, cooked rice and breadcrumbs to form a uniform mass. Grab some of the meat with your fingers, and use your hands to make a ball about 1-inch in diameter.
• Carefully set the meatball in the tomato sauce. Repeat, making meatballs until you've used all the meat. Add the chopped spinach to the sauce.
• Increase the temperature to bring the sauce back to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium-high so that the tomato sauce gently boils. Cook the meatballs for 25 minutes.
• Serve immediately with beans and tortillas.

EASY GREEK MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients and mix until the ingredients are just combined, taking care not to over mix (this can cause the meatballs to be very dense).
• To mix the meatballs: With wet hands (this prevents the meat from sticking to your hands), form meatballs of approximately 3cm/1in and place on a chopping board.
• To fry the meatballs: pre-heat a non-stick frying pan and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Fry the meatballs in batches until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
• To bake the meatballs: Pre-heat the oven to 220ºC. Line 2 baking sheets with baking/parchment paper and add the meatballs, keeping some space between them. Drizzle the meatballs with 1-2 tbsp olive oil and place in the oven. Allow to bake, turning over halfway, until golden brown and cooked through (approximately 20-30 minutes).
• Remove the meatballs from the heat, drizzle with lemon juice (optional) and serve.

KITTENCAL'S GROUND BEEF AND FETA RICE BALLS

Steps:

• In a skillet cook the ground beef with onion and garlic until browned; drain fat then transfer to a large bowl, cool slightly.
• Add in the rice with the next 6 ingredients; using hands mix to combine, then season with salt and pepper and some garlic powder if desired for more garlic flavor.
• Chill the mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Shape into about 1-1/2-inch balls.
• In a small bowl lightly beat the remaining egg.
• Place the dry breadcrumbs into another bowl.
• Dip each rice ball into the egg then coat in the breadcrumb mixture (I would suggest to coat all the balls and place on a plate before starting to fry them).
• When you have all the balls on the plate flatten down slightly with the palm of your hand this will allow for a quicker and more even browning.
• Heat oil in a skillet or a deep-fryer to 375 degrees.
• Fry the balls until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes).
• Serve with hot marinara sauce.

KITTENCAL'S MEXI GROUND BEEF AND RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat; add in ground beef with onion, bell pepper, garlic and chili flakes until no longer pink; drain fat, then continue cooking until the meat is browned (this may take 10-12 minutes, the beef must be browned!).
• Mix in the taco seasoning mix until combined.
• Add in all remaining ingredients including the juice from the canned tomatoes; bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly.
• Reduce heat to low cover and simmer for about 30-35 minutes or until the rice is tender.

PORCUPINE MEATBALLS WITH RICE AND TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the ground beef, rice, onion, 1/4 cup of the water, salt, and pepper.
• Shape meat mixture into 12 to 15 meatballs. Combine the soup, chili powder, and 3/4 cup of water in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Add meatballs to the sauce mixture. Add a little more water to cover, if necessary.
• Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer over very low heat for about 1 hour. Stir occasionally and add more water, if necessary, to keep the meatballs covered with liquid.
• Serve the meatballs along with plain boiled or mashed potatoes or noodles. Broccoli is an excellent side vegetable, or serve them with green beans, peas, or corn.
