Prep:20minCook:1h
This is the “stuffing” of stuffed peppers made into its own meal, will become a quick family favorite! And there’s no messy frying! Why are they called porcupine balls? It's because the rice cooks and sticks out so they look a bit like porcupines. You can easily double or triple this recipe to feed a crowd.
