Meatballs (Marilyn's Favorite)

Serves 6 to 8

1 pound extra lean hamburger

2 slices bread (broken into small pieces)

2 eggs

1 tsp garlic salt

a few shakes of pepper

Mix all ingredients together with fork. Shape into 1 inch balls.

In skillet, heat ½ Tbs olive oil over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook until brown. Turn meatballs over to brown all sides.

Serve with rice and gravy or Marilyn loves the Panda Express orange chicken sauce you can buy at Costco instead of gravy.

First side cooking

I like brown rice, Marilyn prefers white, so I mix them. Brown rice needs to cook longer and this is how I do it:

In saucepan put 3/4 cup brown rice, 1/2 tsp salt and 2 cups water. Bring to boil. Turn heat to low and cover. Cook for 40 min.  Add 3/4 cup white rice and 1 1/2 cups water. Stir together with brown rice. Cover and cook for 20 minutes more. 

For this meal I also added 1 cube chicken bouillion when cooking the rice to give it a little flavor.
