4 Ingredient Rice-a-Roni Meatballs

Hello and Happy Monday.  Yay, I can share pictures again!  My blog is going through a few changes, so I hope you will be patient.  It is going to be better than ever.  I know it’s Monday and time for the Monday Blues.  Those are right here. *This post was updated October 2025.

BUT, I am so happy to be here today to share a family fave recipe-4 Ingredient Rice-a-Roni Meatballs.

This recipe is so yummy.  Perfect with pasta, rice, or even mashed potatoes.

I found the recipe when I was a new mom looking for a filling and delicious meal for my young family.  I am a scratch cook, so I was a little leery at first to make this.  BUT, it was perfect for our family and has been ever since.

Ingredients:

1 box beef flavored Rice-a-Roni

1 lb ground beef or ground turkey

1 1/2 cups warm water

1 egg

Combine in a bowl:

1 lb ground meat, 1 egg and rice from Rice-a-Roni box

Shape into 1 1/2 inch meatballs

Brown meatballs in a medium high skillet, until brown on all sides

Mix:

1 1/2 cups warm water and flavor packet from Rice-a-Roni box

Pour into skillet with browned meatballs.

Turn heat down to medium low, cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes.

Makes 12 meatballs.

Serve over a nice scoop of rice or mashed potatoes.  Delish!

Add a salad and a veggie, you have the perfectly balanced meal.  And, a great quick meal that everyone likes.  A real crowd pleaser.

4 Ingredient Rice-a-Roni Meatballs are a great meal all year long.  I hope you make some soon and let me know what you think.

Thanks for joining me today.

Make it a fabulous day!!
