Frugal Recipe Series

As I have noted my aim with this blog is to bring you a variety of topics relevant to the WAHM. I had along the way included topics to save you time or money. I have decided to include frugal cooking in this category of saving money. Therefore I will from time to time share a tested frugal recipe or two because who among couldn't stand to save a little on our grocery bill?


Porcupine Meatballs

1 package (6.8 ounces) beef-flavored rice mix
1 egg, beaten
1 pound ground beef
2-1/2 cups boiling water
Set contents of rice seasoning packet aside. In a bowl, combine the rice and beaten egg. Add beef and mix well. Shape into 1 inch balls. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the meatballs on all sides. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the r=served seasoning packet and boiling water. Add to skillet; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until the rice is tender.
