Instructions:

Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, chopped onion, parsley, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
-
Shape Into Balls: Using your hands, shape the meat mixture into evenly-sized meatballs, forming them into round shapes.
-
Brown Meatballs: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs to the skillet, browning them on all sides until they are cooked through and nicely browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
-
Blend Soup: Pour the condensed tomato soup into the skillet with the browned meatballs. Add 1 cup of water to the skillet as well.
-
Simmer: Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the meatballs to simmer in the tomato soup mixture for approximately 40 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through and tender.
-
Serve: Once the meatballs are cooked to perfection and the flavors have melded together beautifully, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the Porcupine Meatballs hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
Recipe Notes:
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the meatball mixture.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can reduce the amount of water added to the skillet.
- These Porcupine Meatballs pair wonderfully with a side of mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
