Meatballs

I know there are a ton of recipes for meatballs, but this one is my favorite with the Sweet n' Sour post I put up.

I got this Meatball recipe from my step mother. These Meatballs are used in a Mexican Soup called Albondegas. Which I will post later as well.

Ingredients:
1-2 lbs Ground Beef (or Ground Turkey, though I find that Meatball don't stick together as well with the lack of grease in the Turkey)
Cilantro (enough for your taste pallet)
2-4 Green onions
salt and pepper for taste
1-2 cups rice (not cooked)
2 eggs

Small can of tomato sauce
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper
water

Directions:
In a large cooking pot fill with water a little over half way. Add the tomato sauce, salt and pepper and bay leaf. Bring to boil.
In a large mixing bowl add ground beef, chopped green onions, salt, pepper, rice and 2 eggs. Mix well. I like to use my hands. Once everything is well combined I take about a golf ball amount and roll into a ball. Add Meatballs to boiling water as you make them. 
Once they are cooked they will float to the top. I would say about 20 minutes or less... you will want the rice to cook all the way inside. 
Drain and add to desired meal.
