KITTENCAL'S GROUND BEEF AND FETA RICE BALLS

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.
