Porcupines

Favorite Recipes of the Good Cooks of the First Presbyterian Church, Saginaw Michigan.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/3 cup rice, uncooked
• Salt and pepper to season
• 2 tablespoons onion
• 1 can tomato soup

Directions:

1. Mix ground beef with the raw rice and onion, add salt and pepper. 
2. Form into balls, pour the tomato soup over the balls, and bake in a covered baking dish for about 1-1/4 hours in a moderate oven. 
3. As the rice cooks, it projects out from the meatballs, and when they are done, the rice sticks out all over the balls, similar to the quills on a porcupine. If the mixture thickens too much while cooking, add some hot water.
