"Definite keeper" was my hubby's response. Followed recipe except used instant rice (couldn't tell) and made it vegetarian using Morning Star crumblers. Also added 1/2 minced onion. Next time I will add bell pepper and maybe shredded zucchini to give it a healthy element. I love what another reviewer did by putting them in zucchini boats. Sounds so good! But was really good as written, not bland if you add salt and pepper or Italian seasoning with the meat and had no problem with them holding together. Thanks for the recipe!

Very good and versitile. Made a few changes such as sauteeing onions with the meat and using panko instead of breadcrumbs. You gotta taste before rolling into a ball. Mine lacked a little flavor. Now the versitile part: my husband requested to do taco ball. I used mccormicks cheesy taco mix (yes follow the packet instructions) and follow the rest with mixing the rice then the cheese, etc.....seriously so yummy!

I think these would benefit from less rice and more ground beef.

These are good, and were easier/quicker to prepare than I thought they'd be. They were a bit on the bland side though. I'll make them again, but will add additional seasoning to the browning beef, and I like the idea another reviewer had of making the balls around a cheese centre; the cheese already in the recipe got kind of lost in the balls, didn't taste it. They did hold together very well though and were tasty, so thanks for the recipe!

I made these for my husband, who is often disappointed with rice balls from local eateries. He loved them as did my kids! We added a 1/2 c. more mozzarella cheese and used whole milk cheese.

Fabulous, easy recipe for rice balls. I have made these with hamburger & once I even added some milk italian sausage to the mix & they tasted so good! I make my own bread & make the breadcrumbs from that....They are so yummy, everyone in my family LOVES these, even my pickiest eaters....Thank you for a GREAT recipe.
