Instructions

1

Prepare the meatball mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, rice, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well mixed.

Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the meatballs tough.

Using a small ice cream scoop can help make evenly sized meatballs.

In a large pot, combine the cream of mushroom soup and milk, and heat over medium heat until smooth and warm.

Stir continuously to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pot.
