porcupine balls

made one of my favorite dinners for the first time all by myself.  It's a dinner my mom made for me, and one my grandma made for my mom.  My mom said they used to eat spiced apple rings as treat with them.  I'm not the biggest fan, so we replace the apple rings with apple sauce. These are super easy to make and super yummy!

Ingredients:
1 egg, beaten
1 box of beef flavor rice-a-roni
1lb ground beef
1 tablespoon veggie oil
2 1/2 C water

What to do:
1. combine the rice-vermicelli mix, ground beef and egg.  Shape into 1 1/4 inch meatballs.
2. in a large skillet, over medium high heat, brown meatballs in oil; drain.
3. slowly stir in water and seasonings packet. bring to a boil. cover; reduce heat to low. simmer 30 min or until meatballs are cooked.
