Porcupine Balls

Does any one remember this tasty main dish? While the recipe does require a pressure cooker, I found that using a slow cooker and let them cook all day also works! This was one of Jack’s favorites. 1960

1 lb ground beef
1 ½ cups instant rice
1 medium onion chopped fine
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
2 cloves garlic chopped finely

16 oz chopped tomatoes
Tomato juice to cover

Mix first 5 ingredients together thoroughly. Shape into balls smaller than fist size. Place into pressure cooker and cover with tomatoes and add enough tomato juice to cover. Lock on lid and place on medium high heat. When weight jiggles to indicate pressure has been reach allow to cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool until safety lock allows release.
