Pine Cones in Tomato Sauce
Shared by Lisa Ashton of Aston, Pennsylvania, these meatballs aren't really pine cones, of course, but the rice rolled inside gives them a spiky appearance!
2 8-oz. cans tomato sauce
1/4 t. garlic powder
1/2 c. water
1-1/4 lbs. ground beef
1/2 c. long-cooking rice
2 T. onion, chopped
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
Mix together tomato sauce, garlic powder and water in a slow cooker. Combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl; mix well. Shape into 24 pine cone-shaped balls; arrange in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low setting for 7 to 8 hours. Makes 4 servings.
