Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, uncooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them in a single layer in a large skillet or pot.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dried oregano. Pour the sauce mixture over the meatballs in the skillet.
4. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the meatballs cook for 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the meatballs are tender.

What's the texture of the meatballs like? Curious if they're super tender or more on the firm side.
