Are you looking to save some time and money and be more economical with your meals this week? This recipe will meet your needs perfectly. These rice meatballs are super easy to make as the two main ingredients required are just minced meat and rice.
These oven-baked rice meatballs are covered in a silky red wine sauce and only take 20 minutes to assemble and 25 minutes to cook! The red wine will complement the flavours of the meat and completely elevate the taste profiles of the dish, so we suggest that you do not skip this step!
This recipe is also super easy and convenient as the starch in the rice acts as a perfect binding agent to keep the meatballs formed and to stop them from falling apart. This also means that no extra ingredients such as eggs or flour are needed! When forming your meatballs and placing them into the greased oven dish, we suggest that you use an ice cream scoop to acquire perfectly even meatballs for your dish.
Serve these velvety and saucy meatballs with a salad of your choice or over a bed of mashed potato and enjoy! A great meal for any season.
