Porcupine Meatball Recipe
Hi everyone, my name is Darlene
and welcome back to my blog. Today I am sharing with you one of my family’s
favorite meals – Porcupine Balls. These are hearty and well-seasoned meatballs
with rice which simmer in a rich tomato sauce.
My Mom showed me how to make
these porcupine balls and in turn I showed my daughters. They now make them for
their families. I’m sure your family will enjoy them as much as we do!

nom nom this is very similar to the mixture I made and add for stuffed peppers BUT I am the only one willing to eat stuffed peppers here (bunch of picky don't know what's good eaters here). This will be perfect to make for THEM while I eat the pepper :) brilliant!!
ReplyDeleteAnother old fashioned recipe that's kid pleasing and a family favorite! Good memories, Darlene! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHello Darlene, these meatballs look so good! They would go great with rice, noodles or pasta!

I'm always to lazy to make meatballs. All that shaping just gets to me, but they always look so amazing. Can I come over for dinner?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite. I love them wrapped in cabbage. I'm going to try your recipe as a meatloaf style because my family will love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up at Welcome Home Wednesdays, hope to see you again next week!
ReplyDeleteThese look delish! This is similar to what I use in my stuffed peppers recipe.
ReplyDeleteThis brings back so many memories as my mother made something similar when I was a kid, probably from the Better Homes and Garden Cookbook (the one with the red plaid cover). It's kinda cool to see how these recipes are still popular today. Thanks for sharing with us at Creatively Crafty #ccbg :) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYum! We love meatball recipes! This one looks great! Thanks for sharing at #SmallVictories Sunday linkup!
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with SYC.
Kids usually love meatballs so I will keep the recipe and make some for them. Thanks for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteHi Darlene. Thank you so much for joining me at Thriving on Thursdays a fortnight ago. (My internet connection was down last week so couldn't host the party.) Porcupines are a classic Australian meal that we've enjoyed for years. You've reminded me that I need to make them again for my family. I'm featuring your post at tomorrow's party. Thanks again for joining in.
