Ingredients
-
1 pound ground beef
-
1 cup instant rice
-
1 white onion, chopped
-
1 egg
-
1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
-
28 fluid ounces water
Directions
-
Mix ground beef, rice, onion, and egg together in a bowl with your hands; shape into tennis-ball sized balls.
-
Stir tomato sauce and water together in a large pot; bring too a boil. Gently lie meatballs into the sauce, place cover on the pot, and reduce heat to medium-low.
-
Cook until meatballs are no longer pink in the center, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
-
Put meatballs on a plate, cut each into halves, and ladle sauce over the meatballs to serve.
Editor's Note:
Sodium content varies across brands of tomato sauce, so if you use a no-salt-added sauce, you may want to add salt to the meatballs. Add 3/4 teaspoon salt to the ground beef in step 1.
