"Frozen meatballs and an easy tomato rice, baked together in the oven for a quick prep weeknight meal. Knorr's Tomato Bouillon with Chicken Flavor Granules is at most grocery stores (including Walmart) and available online. A green salad goes nicely with this dish. Add some crushed red pepper flakes if you want it a little spicy."

Tightly cover the baking dish with foil and bake until rice is tender and the meatballs are cooked through (about one hour).
