Mix well and ad to a large skillet (try to use one with 2 inch sides so it does not bubble over)  Form balls or use a scoop to make 20 1 inch meatballs.

Cook meatballs on medium heat in pan for 1-2 minutes on each side. (total cook time of about 2-3 minutes)

Turn heat down to low,  and ad

Place a lid on pot (make sure you cover them) and simmer on LOW for 45 minutes or till rice is cooked all the way thru.  Stir a few times to prevent burning, and if need ad a bit more water if sauce gets to thick.  Hope you enjoy!
