PorkyPine Meatballs

My mom used to make these and my sister recently brought my attention back to this recipe. It's pretty easy. Make sure you use white rice though, or if you use brown make sure you cook them much longer.

Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground beef
1/3 cup uncooked long-grain WHITE rice or Brown Minute Rice
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
dash ground black pepper
1 can condensed tomato soup
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 cup water




Preparation:Combine the ground beef, rice, onion, 1/4 cup of the water, salt, and pepper. Shape meat mixture into 12 to 15 meat balls. Combine the soup, chili powder, and water in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Add meatballs; reduce heat, cover, and simmer over very low heat for 1 hour. Stir occasionally. Serves 4.
