Rice Mix Meatballs

By: Marcy Paden

"'Mom prepared these easy meatballs with a thick gravy often when I was growing up,' relates Marcy Paden of Louisville, Nebraska. 'Now I make them for my family as a nice change of pace from hamburgers. With just five ingredients - including a boxed rice mix - they're a snap to whip up."
