This is the first time I've had porcupine meatballs. I liked how easy this is. The meatballs held together fine. We had mashed potatoes with ours. This was good; thanks for posting this.

This recipe was made for the " First Time Tag " in FFF on 5/17/16. In the prepping of this recipe , I did just a few things differently. For the meat, I used a 50/50 blend of beef & pork. My SO doesn't care for peppers, so I left them out. To make sure that the size of meatballs came out correctly, the meat mixture was spread evenly into a 9x13 in pan and frozen for about 30 minutes then cut into 24 squares. To give a bit more flavor to the meat, it was slightly browned in a small amount of Canola oil. After adding the remaining ingredients, it didn't seem like there would be enough liquid so an eight ounce can of tomato sauce was added. I served this over pasta with a side of Garlic Bread.

Very good and easy! Served with rice and carrots. I skipped the bell pepper but otherwise made as directed. My family really liked this dish! Thanks for sharing!
