I love that you give two different ways to make the porcupines. My mom used to make these when I was a kid and we loved having them. What do you serve yours with? We used to put a side of buttered broccoli or green beans on the side if we did not have fresh salad.

I have a handwritten recipe for porcupine meatballs that my aunt gave me twenty-five years ago. It used ground beef and was an oven dish. It was good, but this version looks healthier and I would prefer to make the meatballs in the slow cooker. I would serve these as a main dish, and skip the pasta for a change.

I just stumbled on this recipe, and was so surprised! My Mom made this when I was a kid. No doubt, I will be trying this soon for my own family. I will use tomato soup instead of marinara...as that his how my Mom made it. Thanks for this recipe!

Can anyone tell me how many meatballs this yields? It says it serves 5 but how many for each person? Thanks

I would have given this five stars, but the recipe calls for a cup of milk to be added to the meat mixture and this is way entirely too much! But I found out the hard way. I didn't want all of it to go to waste, so I kept adding bread crumbs until the mixture was enough of a consistency to shape into very soft balls. However, they do taste wonderful! But really, someone should change the amount of milk noted in the recipe to 1/2 cup, not 1 cup.

I make a simular dish but use tomato soup instead just as good.. Also you can use ground turkey for a healthier version

I tried to add the recipe to my recipe box and open it from there, but the recipe was not delivered to my recipe box . . . only advertisements and a loop back to the original photo of the dish . . .
