This recipe came about when my granddaughter (who's 9-1/2) wanted to make dinner when I was watching them. We were going to make Porcupine Balls (recipe also listed on site), but she added the cans of tomato sauce to the meat (instead of pouring it on top later). So, we needed to thicken the meat mixture and added oatmeal to it (that's what I saw first in my daughter's pantry). The result were big meatloaf meatballs, with texture from the rice and oatmeal.
Campbell's Giant PORCUPINE MEATLOAF MEATBALLS
2 lbs. extra-lean ground beef (we used 96/4).......................2/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup raw white rice (regular ~ not instant)........................2 tsp. Kosher salt
1 tsp. celery seed.............................................................1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. pepper................................................................2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 (15 oz.) cans tomato sauce............................................3/4 cup oatmeal (not instant)
***
Heat oven to 350. Spray a 9x13" pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Mix everything together (my granddaughter loved to mix this in a big bowl, with her hands) and form into big balls (about 2-3" across). Gently put the meatballs into the pan, and cover with foil.
Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes.
We got 15 large meatballs from this. My granddaughters (9-1/2 and 11) and I each ate 2; my grandson (13) ate 3; my husband ate 4 ~ and there were 2 leftover. So, you can judge how many this serves by how big the appetite is for your family members!
