Porcupine Meatballs Baked In Chili Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 cups tomato juice
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 lbs lean ground beef
1/2 cup rice, uncooked
1/2 cup onion, chopped fine
1/2 cup green pepper, chopped fine
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons black pepper

Preparation

Combine tomato juice, chili powder, allspice, celery seed, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar in a medium saucepan.
Mix well and simmer for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the rest of the ingredients, mix well, and form 1/4 cup of the meat mixer into meatballs ( or I use a large cookie scoop) and place them in a 9 x 13 baking dish.
Pour the sauce over the top of the meatballs, cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
