Porcupines

Ingredients
• 2 pounds ground beef
• 2/3 cup uncooked white rice
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 celery stalks finely chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon of oregano
• Sprinkle of parsley
• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 can of diced tomatoes
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Directions
1. Mix the ground beef, rice, onion, salt, celery, garlic powder, oregano, parsley and black pepper in a bowl. Roll the mixture into meatballs.
2. Pour tomato mixture over all the meat balls.
3. Place in preheated 350° oven, covered for about an hour, uncover and give it 15-20 minutes more.
Notes
This is the first time I tried this recipe. You may have to add some water to the mixture while it is in the oven, I found it was a little dry. Also, use short grain rice. I made the mistake of using basmati and it really dried it out. I will also up the amount of tomato sauce - I had a jar of tomato and basil and I could have used another half jar.

I have eaten porcupine. People in Africa eat them. Are they protected in the USA? Do you get them in Australia?

I too thought you may have been eating porcupines. I have a friend here whose husband makes porky jerky. I've never tried it and I'm not sure I would. lol.

I had never heard of them before, but recently came across an Instant Pot recipe for these and they are really good. And the kids eat them, which is a bonus!
