Porcupine Meatballs (I have to double the recipe for my large family)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
- 1 slightly beaten eggs
- 1/2 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley or dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 dash pepper
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can tomato soup
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Combine the first 7 ingredients with 1/4 c. of the tomato soup. Mix well. Shape into about 20 balls and place in a skillet. Mix rest of soup, water, and Worcestershire sauce and pour over meatballs. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes or until rice is soft and meatballs are set. Serve with sauce.
Salisbury patties & gravy
1 lb. ground beef (I use ground turkey)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 to 1 1/2 cups coarsely crushed saltines
1 egg
3 tsp. instant beef boullion granules, divided
2 to 3 cups water
3 Tbsp. cornstarch mixed in 3 Tbsp. water
Mix together beef, onion, saltines, egg and 1 tsp. beef boullion granules. Form patties with hands and fry in small amount of margarine on both sides. When all patties are browned, cover with 2 cups water and rest of beef boullion. Cover with lid and simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove patties to a plate and make gravy by slowly adding the cornstarch/water mix. You may add more water and beef boullion granules to taste.

Wet Burritos
- 1 lb. ground turkey or beef,
- 1 can refried beans,
- 1 pkt. taco seasoning,
- 1 c. water,
- 10 large flour tortillas,
- 8 oz. shredded cheddar,
- 2 chopped tomatoes,
- 1 to 1 1/2 c. chopped lettuce,
- 1 medium diced onion,
- 1 can mild enchilada sauce,
- 1 can cream of chicken soup.
Brown and drain the ground meat. Add refried beans, taco seasoning and water. Stir well and simmer for 15 minutes over low heat. Now come the hard part: Divide the meat/beans into 10 fairly equal parts. Doing one at a time, place a part of the meat/bean mixture on a warmed tortilla, top with some tomatoes, lettuce and onion. Roll the tortillas according the directions on the tortilla package, being sure to tuck the ends in. Place in a 9 x 13 casserole dish or pan. Repeat with each tortilla. Mix enchilada sauce and chicken soup together and pour over the top of the burritos. Sprinkle the cheese over the top and bake 30 to 40 minutes at 350. These may be a bit too spicy hot for young kids (mine love them) but any leftovers will keep in the fridge for a few days
