Review:
For this recipe I used instant brown rice in place of the long grain rice. It turned out just fine with the substitution. I also didn't use that much onion. Probably 1/4 cup. This is a favorite of my husband's when he was growing up. However, the recipe he grew up with had marinara sauce instead of the cream of mushroom. I enjoyed this recipe and will make it again. 4 stars

This looks delish!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to try it.
Thanks for doing this blog, I love visiting here and getting awesome ideas.
I'll have to try this one. My kids love meatballs.
I threw this one together pretty quick. We liked it. I didn't have enough sauce so I would add more water or more C.O.M. soup to make more sauce. My husband suggested I cut part of the onion out, and I added more spice to it when out. S&P. Yummy and my kids ate it. We served it with rice.
This was yummy. My husband and I had to fight over which one got the left overs. I didn't have any bread crumbs, so I used crushed saltine crackers and it worked fine. I had never had these before, but the picture and stuff reminded me of IKEA's meatballs, so I had some of their lingonberry preserves and served with it. YUMM!
I made this tonight and my family loved it! I think I used more than a pound of meat...I had 28 meatballs. Didn't think the fam would eat that many, so I froze half. There isn't a single one left. :) I agree that there wasn't enough sauce - next time I'll double that part of the ingredients. We ate them over egg noodles and more sauce would have been nice. Thanks for this recipe - I will definitely be using it again.
So Yummy. The kids loved it and the hubby saod it was good too. My tip...I used my cheese grater on the onion, so there were no chunks, loved it.

I had had porcupines all my life, my late mother used to make them and I am now 64 and still love them, but I've always had them with cr. of tomato soup with milk added to thin it out a bit. I always use an extra can of soup as I like lots of sauce over mashed potatoes served with it. It is delicious this way. Try it you might like it better. I also just make it in a casserole dish and cook it for a couple of hours or until done. Sometimes I also put some undiluted soup in with the meatballs for extra flavour.
I use to make these all the time - sort of. I didn't put the rice inside the meatballs but under them with the Mushroom soup as the sauce. I always used two cans soup with regular milk so I had plenty of sauce and even then it wasn't enough sometimes. I didn't make them as meatballs either. I made rounded patties. It was a family pleaser.
I remember my mother making these and since I married many years ago I have made them and still love them. The only difference is that we always used Tomato soup and I personally prefer that and I made lots of sauce usually use 2 cans of soup and then I serve it with mashed potatoes and it is great. Try them with the Tomato soup I bet you'll love them.
Have fun trying them.
