Porcupines

Porcupines are gluten-free and fun to make and eat.  The rice expands and pokes out to make the meatballs look like a porcupine.  If I am making it a paleo meal, I leave the rice out and add uncooked, fine-chopped cauliflower instead.

2 pounds hamburger, 1 onion, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon each of onion powder; salt, pepper, garlic salt; 1 cup
uncooked rice; mix together and shape into balls. Brown in a skillet; pour gluten-free tomato soup or mushroom soup over the top; simmer until rice is cooked, at least an hour. Serve with more rice or vegetables or whatever side dish you want.

Using cauliflower instead of rice works really well when cutting out grains.  I use my food processor and chop a head of fresh cauliflower until it is fine ground and then cook it to use in any dish to replace rice.
