- I remember my mom making this dish when I was growing up and then I made it for my kids once in a while. It’s been awhile so here is my version of it. It reminds me of my midwest roots or at least Michigan and that reminds me of home. The rice in the meatballs look like little porcupine spikes after the meatballs are cooked. And the meatballs finish cooking in the rich tomato sauce. Delicious and good comfort food.
Note: You can cook the meatballs in the sauce or bake the meatballs first and finish cooking them in the sauce. I think either way works out perfectly.
Ingredients:
Meatballs:
1 lb of Ground Beef
3 cloves of Garlic, minced
Salt and Pepper
2 Tbsp Parsley, finely chopped
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 large Egg
1/3 cup Onion, finely chopped
½ tsp Paprika
½ cup dry Rice (long grain, Jasmine or other)
2 Tbsp Water
Garnish: if desired
Grated Mozzarella Cheese, grated,
Parsley, chopped
Sauce:
1- 14.5oz can Crushed Tomatoes
1 - 14.5 oz can Tomato Sauce
¼ tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 Tbsp Worcheshire Sauce
Salt and Pepper
1 Tbsp Parsley, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
Few tablespoons, up to a ¼ cup of Chicken broth, if needed if sauce is too thick
Directions:
* Preheat oven 350 (if baking the meatballs)
* Chop up the onions, garlic and parsley
* In a bowl add the meat, onions, garlic, salt and pepper, Italian seasonings, paprika and mix all together. Then add in the egg and mix til combine. Add in the rice and water.
* Form the meat into meatballs - about 24, depending on how big you make them. Set aside. If baking the meatballs, place in the oven for about 20 minutes. Don’t worry if they are not completely done. They will finish cooking in the sauce.
* In another bowl add in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, red pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper, parsley and garlic and completely mix all together. If you think the sauce is too thick add in a few tablespoons of broth.
* In a large deep pan, on medium high heat, drizzle a little olive oil and add the meatballs. Place evenly around the pan. Add the sauce and evenly spread out the sauce to cover the meatballs. Cook for about 10-15 minutes then reduce the heat to medium low and finish cooking for another 15 minutes until meatballs are done cooking in the sauce.
* Garnish with a little grated Mozzarella and chopped parsley if desired. You can finish serving the Porcupine Meatballs with rice, mashed potatoes and a green vegetable or salad.
Enjoy

My 1960s recipe was, minute rice, onion,hamburger, and tomato soup.
Oh wow ,this is a dish my husband grew up with as a child. I must say this is all new to me ,but it looks delish Amy . I think I will have to get the grandchildren over and make this with them and surprise grandpa. 🧡👍💋New Zealand 🇳🇿 this made me smile.
One of the family favorites my mom made when I was a child, and I have continued to make here in Western Canada.
The native Ojibwa named them the Porcupine mts because their silhouette resembled a crouching Porcupine
This looks amazing. I'm definitely trying this. I've heard of it, but have never tried it. Thank you for sharing a favorite. 🤗
I make theses I have for along time I just love them my mama made them and I love them I'm 66 we are Polish and from Michigan too
I just made These last night for my hubby! They were delicious and a hit! Thank you for sharing Amy!! ❤️
Chris is a lucky man having a wife who is a wonderful cook Amy.
Porcupine Meatballs is one of my family’s favorites! I grew up loving this meal in Iowa! I find it to also be a family reunion and potluck dish. I will be sure to try your recipe! I like to make mashed potatoes with mine, too, Chris!
My Mum makes this. Its really nice. My son as a kid thought we were literally eating echidna lol...
Love these! I have made these for many years. Wrap in cabbage and you have cabbage rolls!
Childhood memories on this recipe ! I’m gonna have to make them now ! Enjoyed the video! ☺️
You are such a blessing angel and so grateful for you and bringing Joy happiness everyday with ur show and cooking and passion
These are so good. I used to make them all the time. Thanks for the reminder
I remember these. I haven't had them in ages but I loved em. Thank you for bringing it back. PS I love your stove
We make these too. My girls when they were little loved them. Now they call me and guess what they had for dinner. Of course I know it's their favorite meatballs
How fun.☺😍
Just made these for dinner and they were delicious! I watched your video first and made them exactly to your recipe. I will definitely be making these again. Thank you, Amy!
I grew up in the U.P, (upper peninsula) and lived in Wis. over 55 years and yes these are a midwest favorite. The native Ojibwa people named them the porcupine Mts. becasue they thought they looked like a crouching porcupine..
I love your recipes! And might I add you are looking so happy!! So happy you found each other! 💕
Amy.....peel and cut the ends off of the onion off and then rinse it under cold running water, that keeps the eyes dry when cutting it! 😊
I love to watch you, Amy. You cook like real people.
Aw my grandmother use to make these. Brings back sweet memories. ❤
I made these back in the 70 s,, yummy
Hi Amy, you’re such a darling! God Bless you and thank you for sharing your recipes🙏❤️Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
You can't go wrong with any kind of meatball!'I grew up Italian, so meatballs rule! But I also love Swedish meatballs with brown gravy and egg noodles with a side of lingenberry jam. My best friend made Greek meat balls with feta in them and served with tiziki
Sounds like a great idea to make these other meatballs too. Thanks
I've been binge watching your videos the last couple days, love the recipes, I'm from Michigan too 😉
Amy, Bless Your Heart!!!! Hello from Ohio
They look so good! I am definitely going to have to try making them.
Childhood memories ❤️❤️
I love this, and I'm so glad this came up in my recommended videos! I just love you Amy, and am so happy you have this channel, and I can keep up with how you are doing! Congratulations on your recent marriage, and I subbed! I knew you are a great cook from the show, so glad to be able to have some of your recipes!
It looks wonderful. We grew up with us as a child and also use mashed potatoes.
my mom made these and I loved them
My momma always made these and I made them for my kids when growing up there delicious 🤤 thank you
Can't wait to try this recipe. I grew up with a lot of meatball recipes
I make porcupine meatballs, love them. Cook 1 cup long grain, you get 3 cups. Make your meatballs, use 1 cup of rice like bread crumbs, use regular recipe for meatballs. Roll the meatballs about 1 1/2 in balls bake for 20 minutes, 350 . Then use your regular spaghetti sauce. Put in a casserole dish with the other 2 cups of rice & meatballs. I throw mozzarella on top and bake 15 minutes more.
You're a sweetheart. God bless you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful recipes
I love you Amy! Your meatballs look wonderful. I'll definitely be trying it myself.
Look yummy food Amy hope you and Chris good enjoy pumpkin season with you family
My mom made it to. I still do today. A variation I make is using cream of chicken soup or mushroom instead of red sauce. I have to make this soon. I serve with potatoes to.
Thanks Amy i will be cooking this for dinner tomorrow night!! Good Midwest recipe!!
My momma makes these. Now i definitely going to make too.
My favorite growing up. My request for my mom to make for me too.
This dish looks so delicious and I have never heard of it before but will definitely try it!! Thanks for sharing with us!
My mom made these also. I loved it. Been long time since I have made them. Thanks for your utube recipe 😊❤️
Looks sooooo delicious!!! 🤤 Thanks for sharing your recipe! ❤️💚
Amy those meatballs are almost the way I make my meatballs for my Mexican Albondiga soup🤤🤤I use cilantro instead of parsley.
OMG! It sounds so delicious Amy! I'm going to try it.
Shake shake shake that Worcestershire, check the bottle
It bothered me that she didn’t shake the bottle. 🤷♀️ The meatballs looked really good though!
Those meatballs would be awesome on pasta or anything 🤗💜
I made these years ago but the recipe called for Minute Rice because it cooks faster.
I make these all the time, a favorite in our house.😊
You and Chris are so cute together and amazing couple ♥️
The recipe has same ingredients my mother used for the stuffed cabbage rolls when I was growing up. I have just discovered Jasmine long grain rice (from Aldi's in IL) and it smells soooooo good cooking.
hello dear amy, grettings from tennessee i just love maetballs and spagetti. xoxo princess
I used to have this as a child, too. But we used brown gravy instead of tomato sauce. I think I'll try it with Impossible Burger!
Oh wow, they really look delicious!😋
I've saved your recipe. Definitely going to try this.
Thank you so much for sharing!😘
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU N CHRIS ON YOUR MARRIAGE. I'VE BEEN FOND OF YOU FROM THE START OF YOUR SHOW. I'M GOING TO TRY THIS RECIPE 💕
That looks really good, its sort of just like a Mexican dish, that instead for tomato sauce it's a soup with the meatballs it's great for this time of the weather with some vegetables thrown in soup as well it is called albondigas in Spanish.
These are so good. I've never made them. But I've had at other people's home.
I love everyone in that family ever since the day the show started they are beautiful people I'm glad Amy found her a good husband not that Matt wasn't but they weren't patable anymore together they both found partners that fit them love the children heck I love the whole family beautiful people.
hi from Indianapolis,Indiana looks amazing 👏
My mom made porcupine meatballs when I was a kid. But have never seen anyone make it before. I’ve tried to make them but it never tastes like I remember them. I was raised in Arkansas.
I grew up with porcupine meatballs too. I have made variations of it. We served over egg noodles
I plan on trying looks wonderful yummy
Oh Amy that was great! made me hungry!!! Gonna be my next meatball meal I make thanks to you!! I really liked the idea of a little onion added too! When I don’t want a ton of onions but some onion flavor, I like to grate some onion to taste into whatever I’m cooking and it works out fabulously! No detectable onion chunks and you get the onion juice too!!!
I just made that tonight!!! I did it with mash potatoes and green beans
Here's a great trick with. Parchment paper, run it under. In a ball ,wring it out and pay dry with paper towels and it will lay flat in any pan. X
Please use a little spatula to clean the cans but don't hit it in the glass Same with the fork. Thank you.
Just found this CZcams Amy! Always loved you! Liked and subscribed! Best of luck to you!!!
Meatballs are my favorite 😻
Blessings from Manhattan nyc that dish looks delicious can't wait to make this for my family
Love these. Thanks for the recipe
You know where they sell Kosher salt? The Dollar Tree! It's a huge container too!
Easier to use a small spatula to clear out the cans and the bowls.
Hi Amy! I'm so glad this came up in my feed. I liked and subscribed. The meatballs look so good, I'm going to try them. I've never made meatballs, but want to now. LOL! I used to watch you on TV and really missed you. It will be nice catching up on what's going on with you and your family through your videos. Thank you so much for sharing!
When I make these I use v-8 juice to cook them in. Add a little sugar & it’s good to go. My mom used tomato juice but I was always looking to add more veggies to our diet.
Es un gusto saludarte y aprendo a cocinar cosas diferentes sin picante.
Gracias ☺️
Amy, I think I’m going to follow your recipe,then cook this in my instant pot, I’m an instant pot cook these days.
Yes, my aunt used to make these in the old style pressure cooker, just delicious, now I make them in my instant pot, so good and tender
Cook your meatballs in the oven first then add it to the red sauce. Sounds really yummy.
Amy is such a wonderful lady , a great cook , a wonderful mom & grandma ., love her , an anything she's involved in . In my opinion she was the Matriarch , she was Rollof farm , an I have no desire to continue watching Matt Rollof an his concubine farm . God bless Amy & Chris with a long happy healthy life , an for Matt n Karen's Karma will come knocking on their door, it's just a matter of time .
Hey cheryl you are so absolutely right about Amy she's awesome and that thing that came in between matt and Amy's marriage she's a manipulator and thinks she's better than Amy and she try's to flirt with chris and she sure doesn't love matt she loves what he has she's fake lots plantation love you Amy ur awesome and real
I cook my porcupines in tomato juice. The juice cooks down into a sauce so so good.
I want to try this!
I make this..slight difference in recipe..taste like stuffed cabbage without the cabbage..love it cause I don’t like cabbage
Nice 👍👍. Will try it 🍾
Great job and Great recipe! I’m a new subscriber!
Looks delicious amy
Hi Amy, this looks so good! Can't wait to try it!😊 Thank you for sharing!Keep them coming!🤗💕💕💖💖💕💖💕💕
They look so Delicious Amy! 🥰
Use thyme or laurel for more flavour in ur sauce,and if its sour use sugar, also i use balsamic sauce instead of westchester sauce😅 am from the Mediterranean so I don't think I used the westchester sauce that much! The meatballs with rice r more common with fish meat in my country(sardines).
Please no powder parm cheese that's a nono and watch over mixing the meat. But u brought back fond memories of my mom making these I will try next week. Thank u
Love your show on Porcupine Meatballs & Thank You for their recipe. Can't wait to try it. I have at least ? two questions, what percentage of ground meat did you use?, and where did you get those GREAT plates you used, please. Also, CONGRATULATIONS, to both you & Chris on your marriage. He seems like a really great/nice fellow. You are both equally blessed!
Usually most people use lean, never extra lean (made with older meats) it with medium for cost savings. I normally use lean meat due to the waste factor and trouble of having to drain off the fat. Depends on your budget.
I have a secret to crying when cutting onion....as soon as you feel the tears coming on run your hands under cold water. After I peel my onion I also rinse it under water before slicing it. Pampered Chef makes a chopper .....it's better than the slap chop too
Amy you so much fun to watch.
I love all your recipes Amy ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Tom juice or v -8 work good for the cooking medium. Youll never have dry rice.
Looks delicious!!!
nice meatball recipe.
Do you reply?? This looks absolutely amazing, never watched your show😕but i love these cooking videos and recipes!!
Yum 😋looks delicious 😋 and really look like poqipines
Morton Kosher salt should be where all the salt is on bottom shelf. It’s in a square box.
Hi wow how nice . I will differently will try that.
