How to Make Easy Creamy Porcupine Meatballs

  1. In a large pot, heat 1 (10.75 ounce) can Campbell's Cream of Celery soup and 1/2 cup milk over medium heat.
  2. In a separate bowl, gently combine 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 cup uncooked long-grain rice, 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Roll the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
  4. Carefully drop the meatballs into the simmering soup mixture.
  5. Cover the pot and simmer on medium-low heat for 45 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the rice is tender.
  6. Stir in one (14.5 ounce) can of drained green beans during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
