Meatballs and Rice

This is one of the easiest dinners that doesn't come out of a pre-packaged box.

Meatballs and Rice

3-4 Serving Cooked Rice

1 lb Ground Beef (Thawed)

2 Tablespoons Dried Onions

5 Crackers (Crushed)

1 Egg

Salt and Pepper

1 Brown Gravy Packet

Cook rice and gravy according to the package instructions.

Mix ground beef with egg, crushed crackers, dried onion, and salt and pepper. Use your hands (or a cookie scoop if you hate touching raw meat like my husband) to form the beef mixture into 12 balls. Place the balls in a small, glass dish.

Cover the dish with wax paper and cook in the microwave on high for 7-8 minutes. Cut one of the meatballs to check for doneness. 

Serve  alone or with steamed veggies.

*Note:  this meal can be made gluten free by ommitting the crackers and using a gluten free gravy mi. One of the sister missionaries assigned to my ward is gluten free and this meal worked great when they came over for dinner.
