Meatballs - Updated
This is a recipe that I came up with based on some I had that were made by one of my good friend's mother.
I start with about 6lbs. of ground chuck. Mix in 3 cups of brown rice along with 2 tbsp chili powder, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1/2 tbsp italian seasoning, and 1 tsp each of onion salt, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. After mixing is done form into balls place on a lined (I usually use tin foil) cookie sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees.
We usually do them in a tomato sauce. It works great for spaghetti, meatball subs, or just as the main dish.
For the sauce, combine 24 oz. of tomato paste, 32 oz. of chicken broth, 1 cup water, and one package of chili seasoning (not mild chili seasoning though because it contains milk) in a large crockpot. Start the sauce while the meatballs are cooking. Add the cooked meatballs to the sauce and cook on high for at least 2 hours. The longer they cook the better they are.

To recap the ingredients are as follows:
6 lb. ground chuck
3 cups brown rice
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tbsp italian seasoning
1 tsp onion salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
24 ounces of tomato paste
32 ounces of chicken broth
1 cup water
1 package of chili seasoning
Udate- I no longer use the chili seasoning packet for the sauce. I now make my own chili seasoning.
Chili Seasoning
4.5 tsp chili powder
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp onion powder
0.5 tsp salt
0.25 tsp cumin
