Porcupine Meatballs

1 ½ lbs ground beef (raw)
½ cup rice
½ tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp chopped onion
1 (10.5 oz) can condensed tomato soup
½ cup water


Combine meat, rice, salt, pepper and onion. Shape into small balls. In sauce pan mix the soup and water, heat to simmer. Add the meatballs, cover and cook for 30 minutes on simmer.

I double the soup and water so I have more sauce and make a couple of cups of plain rice. I put the meatballs and sauce over the rice or on the side --- whichever your family likes. I have used both the regular and minute rice in this recipe --- both work.
