- "That smells good. I could smell it when I was coming in." Pop Jones says he can smell the goodness all the way in the garage as he was coming in from work. These little delicious bites in gravy are absolutely amazing and so easy to make. You can do them in the pan as I did, or bake them in the oven as our family before us did. Either way, I hope you make them. Original recipe below as well as the changes I made.
Enjoy!

I sure have missed you and Pops, I’ve been under the weather a bit. But glad I tuned in today to see this fabulous recipe! Can’t wait to try it since I’m feeling better. Thank you so much for sharing your family and your scrumptious recipes. 🩷💚fromGeorgia !😎
Thank you. Please get well soon. ❤️
My mother made porcupines quiet often. The recipe is delicious made the original way with the tomato base sauce. I’m sure your way is good as well.
Hi Karen, I just love the idea of how you cooked this in 1 dish 👍🏼👍🏼
You both are such a sweet couple 💞
I find recipes are so valuable and will be passed down with so much meaning.
Thank you for alowing all of us to enjoy you having time to cook your yummy food.
Hi Karen. I miss you guys when I can't watch for a while. From Az where it's too hot already.😇🚲 I'm
Phew! It's hot here too. The week started out OK but ending with a bang. 🥵🥵❤️
My mom used to make porcupine meatballs when I was a little girl! My goodness that recipe sure does bring back memories!
Looks delicious as usual, that cookbook is a special treasure! I just received my cookbook from you and I absolutely love it! We also tried the green tomato recipe from one of your videos and we thought it was awesome! Thanks so much for sharing, you guys are a precious couple! God Bless you and your family!
Thank you so much. ❤️
I was just remembering when I was a teenager, my cousin making these in a brown gravy. Hers were round. It brought back good memories. I'm putting these on next weeks meal plan. Thank you
Thank you for this tasty reminder!
This is one of the first dishes I learned to made in High School cooking class, we loved it!
I also wanted to say you look really cute, love your outfit 💙
I love porcupine meatballs but my husband’s not a meatball fan but I bet he’d eat porcupine discs. Thanks for sharing this family favorite recipe with us, I’ll for sure be trying these. My husband and our youngest daughter likes to put a spoon full of corn in the well of mashed potatoes then gravy over it all.
What a wonderful cookbook! It is surely a precious family heirloom. . . and it keeps all the memories alive with every meal made. When I was a child, I thought porcupines were so elegant. Probably because we had them so rarely.
Thank you so much they look delicious and looking forward to make them
so good🌷
This is similar to a meal that my family made when I was growing up. I used to make it and then forgot about it. Thank you for reminding me of it.
I'm definitely going to make this dish. It looks delicious
I just ordered the cookbook the other day. Excited waiting for it.
Thank you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it. ❤️
That’s funny .. I do the same with my mashed potatoes and peas! Karen I got the three piece paring knives from Rada and I love them!
🥰Thank you👍Nice recipe . A delicious meal . ❤👍
Hi Karen, Porcupines was one of the first recipes I made when I was about 14. I found it in the women's companion cookbook that my grandmother gave to my Mom. Fast forward 50 years, and I haven't made them in a while, but your recipe has me wanting to make them. Thank you for the memory boost, and thank you for sharing your recipes. 🙂♥️
This sounds delicious i mma gonna try this
Hey Miss Karen...Ive heard of these but have never made them they looked easy to make .....love how Miss Patchy gets excited when her daddy comes home...yall have a good day!
Karen, Do you think you could demonstrate how you make a baked half of ham?
I'm attaching a video that we did of Pop Jones making his ham. He's our ham baker and it's amazing.

👋♥️🙏♥️👋I believe we called these meatballs “Swedish Meatballs”. They are delicious. I also like them in a mushroom gravy. Yummm. Thanks Karen. Have a great weekend. ♥️👋🙏👋♥️Jennifer
Looks and sounds delish Karen ! And hello Pop nice to see u2 together having test taste😊
I do enjoy your videos so much. Never heard of porcupines, but I'd like to give them a try. I wonder if I could trouble you to share where you found the gloves you wore in this video? Thanks again for sharing your kitchen with us.
Thank you. We get them wherever we shop. Pop Jones gets them from his work also. ♥️♥️
I love porcupine balls!!
Ooh this looks delicious! Thank you Karen. I can’t wait to try it
Porcupine meatballs are still a favorite meal for my family. We cook them on the stovetop and simmer the balls in tomato soup and water. There is usually some loose rice that thickens the tomato soup and it goes great with mashed potatoes and peas. We had porcupines for dinner just a few weeks ago but now I'm hungry for them again!
Looks delish, as always. I'll be making that!
Wow delicious looking dish ❤
They look delicious. I'm going to have to try making these. 😊
Good morning Karen this looks so good I will be trying this hope you and Pop Jones have a blessed weekend take care
I love porcupine meatballs; my Grandma made them
That looks great. I even think I can smell it lol
Karen and Pop,
I am going to try these in a week or so and let you know. Take they look delicious and I cannot wait. Thank you for everything you do.
Why can't you have tomato and brown gravy? We do. Delicious
You can. Lots of times, I will put tomato paste in my brown gravy. But, I didn't want tomatoes and/or tomato sauce with these.
Hey Karen , what is the name of the dry beef mixture for gravy you use? Thanks Karen I will be making this one! Yummy
I use McCormick brown gravy.
yall fix me a plate, i'm on my way...
Winner as usual. Can't wait for volume 2 of your cookbook.
In Alabama I thought people said potatahs, not potatoes!!
Karen - I remember this recipe for Porcupines from my childhood - my mama made it the same as you with the brown gravy and mashed 'taters - and peas & carrots were a favorite as well. Thanks for the memory lane walk. I love the expression on Patchie's face at the end of your videos.
we had only two (husband's side) family reunions, 1988 and 2000, no cookbook LOL my side--no reunions OR cookbook LOL married since 1974.
😋 yummy !
I sitting watching you and eating some oatmeal with maple flavoring, raisins and walnuts. I know better than to watch you without eating 😂. Sounds delicious. Love and big hugs. ❤❤
