When my husband and I were dating, would would sometimes eat at my now in-laws house for dinner. I remember one night my mother-in-law made rice meatballs for dinner and they were yummy! After we were married, I have collected a number of recipes from my mother-in-law and this is one of our family’s favorites! It’s one of my go to recipes when I need something that’s quick to fix. I serve it over noodles or rice with a side of veggies.
