Okay, I made this the other night. I used everything you have in the original recipe, except I used Success brown rice. Since it cooks in 10 minutes, I thought this would work. I don't eat white rice at all anymore.

1 lb lean ground beef
about 2/3 cup Success brown rice, taken out of the boiling bag
2 cartons of beef broth (1 qt cartons, Aldi $1.29 each)
1 chopped onion
2 cloves chopped garlic
pat of butter
Salt and pepper
frozen green beans, from Aldi, snapped in half

Simmering broth

Buggy balls

I cooked it up like you said. DD and I each ate a bowl, and we had plenty left, so the next day I scooped the solid pieces of fat out, and put in a can of diced tomatoes, and about a cup or so of cole slaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots). I cooked it until the cabbage was done, and it was very tasty. The meatballs were fine with the Success rice in them, too.

DH liked it a lot. Thanks, Buggy!

DD gets special mention for taking the pictures.
