Porcupine Meatballs
Printable Recipe
1 1/2 lbs hamburger
finely chpd onion
1 egg
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/2 cups long grain rice, uncooked rice
4 cups tomato juice
Combine hamburger, onion, egg, salt, pepper and rice. Form into meatballs and place in a greased 9 x 13" pan. Pour tomato juice over meatballs. If desired, sprinkle some additional rice in and around the meatballs. Cover with foil and bake 350 degrees for 1 hour, or until tender.
Note: Recipes will vary, on the addition of an egg. Some add it, others don't. I find that it holds the meat together better. Also, I personally, find these somewhat bland, so you can add some basil and oregano to either the meatballs or the tomato juice, if desired.

Oven BBQ Ribs
Printable Recipe
These are very good. They are pretty spicy, so cut down on the amounts of the seasonings if you don't like things real hot. Let them sit in the refrigerator with the rub on for up to 2 hours or longer, and it will tenderize the meat.
Ribs
6 lbs pork spareribs
Rub
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tsp white pepper
2 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp brown sugar
BBQ Sauce
I use "Famous Dave's Sweet & Zesty BBQ Sauce" and I thin it out by adding some water. You can use whatever you prefer.
Pull the transparent sheet off of the back of the ribs, using paper towels to grab a hold of it. Mix together the Rub ingredients and rub all over the ribs, front and back. Place inside a large plastic ziplock bag and refrigerate for 2 hours. Place ribs in a shallow roasting pan or large rimmed cookie sheet(s) and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove from oven, drain any accumulated grease and then baste with the bbq sauce. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees and return ribs to oven and bake for another 1 hour, 15 minutes basting occasionally with bbq sauce.
