I have been searching for this recipe for the longest time. My husband's family is from Italy. His aunt makes rice balls for him every time we visit...but I have yet to get the recipe. This one is very close. I changed it quite a bit. I use the "Italian Meatballs" recipe by JoAnn usually the night before I make the rice balls. The next day I divide the leftover meatballs and divide them in 4ths. When I form the rice ball, I put a bit of mozzarella cheese and the 1/4 of the meatball in the center. The meatball is already flavored so I don't need to mess with ground beef prep on this recipe. Sometimes I fry the rice balls but, for the most part, I usually just bake them. They are artery clogging good fried. But baked they are still good without adding even more oil to the mix.
