In my house, meatballs<\/a> are a regular dinner staple. My husband and kids can never resist those tasty bites of saucy, meaty deliciousness! But after one too many nights of the same old meatballs and marinara<\/a>, it was time to change things up.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I decided to try my hand at Porcupine Meatballs, which put a fun spin on the classic by coating little meatball “porcupines” in rice, giving them those iconic quills. Not only are they more interesting to look at, but baking them up this way creates a complete meal all in one – no side dish required!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

These Porcupine Meatballs are hearty and comforting, yet so simple to throw together. Kids love the fun, bite-sized pieces dotted with grains of rice. My ketchup-obsessed family enjoyed dunking them in tomato sauce<\/a> for added flavor. And I love that the dish feels a bit retro and nostalgic.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
