Equipment

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
¼ cup uncooked long-grain rice
1 egg slightly beaten
½ tablespoon dried parsley
2 tablespoon onions finely chopped
½ teaspoon salt
dash ground black pepper
1 can (10½oz) tomato soup, divided
½ cup water
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, rice, egg, parsley, onion, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of tomato soup.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until everything is well combined.
Use a spoon or a small scoop to form the mixture into about 20 small meatballs.
Place the meatballs in a large skillet, making sure they're evenly spaced.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the remaining tomato soup, water, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
Pour the tomato soup mixture over the meatballs in the skillet.
Bring the skillet to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid.
Let the meatballs simmer for 40 minutes, or until they're cooked through and the rice is soft.
Stir the meatballs occasionally while they cook to ensure they cook evenly.
