Very Yummy, added oatmeal and it was just like my mom's meatloaf! MMMMM! Also didn't brown on stovetop, just baked. 5 Yr old and 3 Yr old boys grubbed it down!

This was the first recipe I tried. My family loved it. I will be making it again.

These are easy & delicious & my kids loved them! I work nights & it took no time at all to whip up a batch of these.

This was a hit with the whole family.. even the two year old loved his "meatball".

I made this recipe for my family about a month ago.. My family really liked it alot.. I'm thinking about making them again very soon.

This is great! My son loved it (and he is so picky) I didn't have any tomato sauce so I used Cream of Mushroom Soup. Thanks!

We have been making this recipe for years in my family. I have learned that if you use instant rice it is way better.

Love porcupines! My mother served them with canned peaches and so do I. We line the bottom of the pot with saurkraut. Sounds weird but it is delicious.

This recipe is really good! I've made this a few times now & modified it a bit. Instead of browning the meatballs, I just place them in the pan with sauce to cover. I also add 1 tsp of celery salt & 1/2 tsp. of black pepper to the tomato sauce/water mixture. I like to serve the porcupines over rice or with baked potatoes with a nice green salad for a yummy, complete meal!

Yummy, but not a ton different than regular meatballs. In the tomato sauce make sure the sauce is not too acidic. In cream of mushroom sauce mix ranch and sour cream into a 1/3 measuring cup. This makes it taste like beef stroganoff. Good, but fattening. *Brown rice- does not work, and wont get soft.

They seemed rather bland, but I am excited about how flexible and easy this recipe is. I followed the recipe exactly the first time, but next time I will probably add some fresh garlic along with some bell pepper and green onions to the meat mixture. I will also try a brown gravy or a cream of mushroom gravy.

My family loves meat, so I was thrilled when I came across this recipe. However I had to make some minor changes since I have a picky family. Instead of tomato sauce I used brown gravy! Also, I served this over mashed potatoes made from scratch! It was a hit!

thanks,yours was great.my kids loved it. god bless.

Very mild flavor. It actually tastes better the next day. I would add more seasoning.

Instead of using tomatoes, I used mushroom soup, 1 can milk, 1 can of water and poured over uncooked meatballs. Cooked for 1 hour, then flipped the meatballs over and covered and cooked for an additional 30-45 min. Pulled meatballs out, added a little milk to stretch gravy, added a little salt and pepper to gravy, thickened and served over potatoes. GREAT Recipe, Family LOVED it

Wow! These turned out great! I used instant brown rice instead of regular white, plus added an egg and they stayed together. An important thing to remember when browning them is to leave them alone; otherwise, they will fall apart. For the sauce, I cut up half a large tomato into a small can of tomato sauce, added 1/4 cup of water, and simmered them for 15 minutes in the same skillet I had browned them in. There was so little sauce left after 15 minutes that I added an undiluted can of reduced-salt tomato soup, and there was plenty left after simmering another 10 to smother over a biscuit. Thanks for this classic! I can't believe I haven't made these sooner!

I have been making this recipe for a number of years. I found it in a book of recipes from the world war one era, titled "365 Ways to Cook Hambuger" written by Doyne Nickerson. Doyne Nickerson's recipe is one step easier, the meatballs aren't browned before putting them in the baking dish with the tomato sauce. My family have long enjoyed this wonderfully simple,tasty recipe.

These were great! The whole family loved them! I subbed meatloaf mix (ground beef, pork, and veal) instead of just beef, and minced garlic instead of powder. Next time I'll try baking them in cream of mushroom soup. I was a little skeptical using uncooked rice. I always use cooked rice for filler. The uncooked rice worked out perfectly and the rice poked out of the meatballs
