KITTENCAL'S GROUND BEEF AND FETA RICE BALLS



Kittencal's Ground Beef and Feta Rice Balls image

Crunchy on the outside with a delicious ground beef-rice filling oozing with melted chunks of feta cheese, I would suggest to purchase the block of feta cheese and coarsely crumble into small chunks, you may freeze the remainder of the feta to use for another time --- due to the high sodium amount in the feta cheese and Parmesan cheese I strongly suggest to season with salt until after you have added both cheeses --- I have listed the yield at 35 balls this is only estimated you may get a few more more or less, good thing this makes lots you will have them gone in not time! --- you may adjust amounts to suit taste, this recipe is very versatile.

Categories     Rice

Time 39m

Yield 35 balls

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 lb ground beef (or use spicy or mild Italian sausages with casings removed)
1 small onion, finely chopped
4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped (garlic-lovers use more)
3 cups cooked rice, firmly packed when measuring
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup melted butter
2/3 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
2 tablespoons dried parsley (can use 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley)
1/3 cup coarsely crumbled feta cheese (can use more)
1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional add in for more garlic flavor)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 egg (may need another egg)
1 cup dry breadcrumbs
oil, for deep-frying

Steps:

  • In a skillet cook the ground beef with onion and garlic until browned; drain fat then transfer to a large bowl, cool slightly.
  • Add in the rice with the next 6 ingredients; using hands mix to combine, then season with salt and pepper and some garlic powder if desired for more garlic flavor.
  • Chill the mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Shape into about 1-1/2-inch balls.
  • In a small bowl lightly beat the remaining egg.
  • Place the dry breadcrumbs into another bowl.
  • Dip each rice ball into the egg then coat in the breadcrumb mixture (I would suggest to coat all the balls and place on a plate before starting to fry them).
  • When you have all the balls on the plate flatten down slightly with the palm of your hand this will allow for a quicker and more even browning.
  • Heat oil in a skillet or a deep-fryer to 375 degrees.
  • Fry the balls until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Serve with hot marinara sauce.

KITTENCAL'S MEXI GROUND BEEF AND RICE



Kittencal's Mexi Ground Beef and Rice image

This is a delicious tomato based rice dish, spicy pork sausage meat may be replaced for the ground beef which is what I prefer to use, make this as spicy as you like by adjusting the chili flakes, the olives may be omitted I strongly suggest to add them in you could substitute 3/4 cup frozen peas, this recipe was developed using converted rice I can't promise the same results using another kind of rice

4 garlic cloves, minced (don't skimp on the garlic add in more if desired)
