I used to make this when my girls were young and I forgot how to make it! Making it tonight! Thank you

Nicely done video. Simple recipe, I'll be trying this soon

Thanks for this twist - my Mom's recipe for porcupines uses tomato juice instead (so it was tomato flavored rather than beef). This looks cheaper (and delicious) to make since I only prefer the well-known name brand tomato juice, which is more expensive.

Looks delicious, thank you 😊

I make them with 1 or 2 pounds of ground beef, 1 cup-ish uncooked basmati rice, an egg, and a ton wercercercercershireireshirercercershire sauce.
Oh, and don’t forget the tomato sauce!
I also use a pressure cooker because that’s what I have on hand. I put the worcershiretercershireircerrershireshheruiree sauce in the balls and the sauce.
We also have them with rice!

Nice recipe, but if you could just hurry up with the steps please. Like when you are cutting something, you don't have to film the cut the whole time. Much appreciated. And thanks again for the recipe.
