["Directions for Porcupine Meatballs:.", "Combine ground beef, rice, egg, parsley, onions, salt, pepper, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire Sauce , and 1/4 cup of the tomato soup. Stir well to combine.", "Lay out waxed paper or a platter to place the meat balls onto.", "Using a tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop up a measure of the meat mixture and just lay out on the waxed paper. You will form them into perfect meat ball when you are done scooping them up. I get 30-31 meat balls from this recipe. When you are done scooping up the meatball mixture, form them into round balls.", "Heat the tablespoon of butter in a large Texas skillet. Place meatballs in the fry pan and allow the bottoms to brown slightly before turning. I've found that a coffee scoop makes the perfect tool to turn the meatballs without them breaking into pieces. This will take about 5 minutes to slightly brown the sides.", "While meatballs are browning, mix the rest of the tomato soup, water, and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl and pour over meatballs.", "Bring the tomato sauce to a boil in the skillet.", "Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer 40 mintes or until meatballs are cooked and rice is soft, turning them every 5 minutes. This makes sure that all the rice has contact with the liquid so it plumps up.", "When meatballs and sauce are done, take skillet off the heat and set aside. While you are preparing the Tri-Colour Pepper Soup, the meatballs will ""set up"" so they don't break up in the soup.", "Directions for Tri-Colour Pepper Soup:.", "Melt one tablespoon of the butter over medium heat in a large Dutch Oven. Sweat the onions for 5 minutes until translucent and slightly yellow. I keep them covered during this process. If necessary, add additional tablespoon of butter so the onions do not burn.", "Add the three different coloured peppers, stirring well, to mix the soft onions and butter with the peppers. Set timer for 15 minutes; every 5 minutes, stir the peppers and onions and ""taste test"" the peppers to YOUR degree of doneness. We really enjoy a very soft pepper so it takes the full 15 minutes to achieve that texture.", "Add the four cups of chicken broth, the can of diced tomatoes, and the teaspoon of paprika and stir well, until combined. Empty the entire skillet of reserved meatballs and the sauce they cooked in to the Dutch Oven, stirring gently so the meatballs don't break up.", "Bring the soup to a boil, reduce down to a simmer and cover. Every 5 minutes, gently stir the soup. Simmer for 30 minutes.", "Serve immediately."]
