Rice-Stuffed Meatballs
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken stock, or more as needed
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components and prepare for cooking.
2
Combine ground beef, cooked white rice, water, finely chopped onion, salt, celery salt, garlic powder, and black pepper in a large mixing container. Thoroughly blend the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed. Shape the mixture into 12 uniform meatballs.
3
Heat a substantial amount of oil in a large, deep skillet over a medium-high heat setting. Carefully place the meatballs into the hot skillet; cook, rotating them once halfway through their cooking time, until they are nicely browned on all sides, approximately 8 minutes. Remove the cooked meatballs from the skillet and discard any excess oil that remains.
4
Pour a mixture of tomato sauce, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar into the skillet. Gradually decrease the heat to a lower setting, allowing it to simmer. Cover the skillet and let it cook for an extended period of time until the meatballs are no longer pink in their centers and the rice is tender, roughly 45 minutes. If the sauce becomes too dry, add additional chicken broth to restore its desired consistency.\nEnjoy your meal!
