Another favorite growing up. Its a soup.

Ingredients:

1. 2 lbs lean range fed organic ground beef
2. 2 eggs
3. 1/2 Medium White Onion
4. Cilantro
5. Whole Large Tomato (firm)
6. 1/3 cup rice
7. Fresh garlic or Garlic Powder (small amount)
8. Beef bouillon 6 squares..yikes
9. Tomato sauce can 8 oz.

• Fill silver pot 2/3 to 3/4 and boil water (no idea how big my silver pot is but will find out)
• Take rice and place in small skillet and boil until a bit soft otherwise you may end up with hard rice in the meatballs. After water boils leave  2 to 3 minutes. Drain, it should be at least to slightly crunchy exterior with outside soft.
• Dice tomato into large chunks.
• Dice half onion into  large chunks, can do smaller if you want. Only large so kids can pull out the chunks.
• Chop 2/3 cup of very large/loose cilantro
• Salt, pepper and garlic powder to meat to taste. Add 2 eggs. Mix into meat. Seems the garlic powder is easily the heaviest of the three. Add rice. The rice should be room temperature.
• Mix the rice into other mixture. The ideal ground beef is very lean range fed organic since it will have a more pronounced beef taste. Put additional GP and perhaps salt into mixture.
• Taste the raw beef, the flavor in mixture must be pronounced. Set aside
• Add 4 B cubes into boiling water. It is key that water is boiling when you add anything.
• Separately heat 2 tbsp olive oil in large skillet and add veggies. Add salt and GP. Large amounts of GP (yes again).
• After 3 minutes add 1/2 of 8 oz can of tom sauce. Saute one more minute and add all of it to boiling water. If not boiling bring to boil.
• Make meatballs a bit larger than golf ball size, a bit larger and add one meatball at a time (so as not to cool off water).
• Once they are all in, bring to full boil.
• Boil on high covered for a while then
• Reduce to low medium heat for pprox 30 minutes til done..not overdone so you can re-heat.
• bam?
