Meat and Rice

This is a recipe that I originally found in a Campbells Soup Cookbook called Savory Meatballs. With the help of my daughter we have completely dumbed it down, however it is still a simple family favorite. This recipe originally called for soup as the base. I've altered it to be a real food recipe.

Notes

Use your favorite rice and cook accordingly, we always double the recipe to use for an easy lunch later in the week. Think egg roll in a bowl, or chicken fried rice. You can skip the mushrooms, stock, flour and use 1 can of cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup and 1 can of water instead. Just add the garlic before you add the soup and cook for a minute or two. You can also use 2 T Better than broth beef base & 2 C water instead of broth.
