Porcupine Meatballs

This recipe for meatballs is one of my favorites. As the meatballs simmer and cook in the tomato sauce, the rice pokes out of the meatballs like porcupine needles, hence the name. Why not try this easy skillet meal for your family soon, it just may become one of your favorites, as well. Blessings...

1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup chopped onion
