1 pound of hamburger

1 egg

Directions:  

Mix ½ cup of tomato sauce into the rice and mix into the meat. Mix together and set aside to pour over the lightly fried meatballs.

 Dry ingredients:   1 ½ cups tomato sauce PLUS 1/8 cup water (You may need more water to spread the sauce, but not much.  Eyeball it.)
