Rice and Beef Porcupines

When I was young my mother made meatloaf every Monday. When she discovered this recipe the meatloaf retired and the porcupines were hired! I made some the other day, it serves about 4 people.

1 lb ground beef

2 tsp chopped onions

1/4 tsp poultry seasoning

1/2 cup raw rice, well washed

1/4 tsp pepper

1 tsp salt

3 tbsp fat

2 small cans of tomato sauce

1 cup of water

Form mixture into 10-12 balls, brown them lightly in a saucepan in fat

Drain off excess fat and add tomato sauce and 1 cup of water.

Cover tightly, simmer 45-50 minutes or until rice is tender. Serve with flavory pan gravy.
