What
you need,
1
lb. of ground beef
1
cup white rice, uncooked
1
egg
¼ cup
yellow onion, grated or finely diced
¼ cup
bell pepper; finely diced (I used an orange one)
1
tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp.
salt (or you could use seasoning salt)
¼ tsp.
fresh ground pepper
1
can tomato soup
1
can of water (about 1 cup)
¼ cup
ketchup, plus more for topping
1-2
tbsp. hot sauce, add to your taste
Salt
and Pepper, to taste
Preheat
your oven to 350 degrees.
In
a medium bowl whisk together the tomato soup, water, ketchup and hot sauce
until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
You
are looking for at least 2 ½ cups of
liquid, so add more water if needed.
In
a large bowl combine the ground beef, uncooked rice, egg, onion, bell pepper,
garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix with your hands until well incorporated.
Form
into meatballs. I used a large ice cream scoop to make mine, but you can make
them whatever size you like.
Pour
half the tomato soup mixture into the bottom of a baking dish or Dutch oven. Place
the meatballs on top of the sauce. Pour the rest of the sauce over the top of
the meatballs. Squeeze a little ketchup on each meatball and spread it out with
the back of a spoon.
Cover
the baking dish and cook for 1 hour. Uncover the pan and bake another 15
minutes or so until the top of the meatballs get a little bit brown.
