In a mixing bowl, add the beef along with the rice/pasta from the box of Rice A Roni. Set a side the seasoning packet to use in a little bit.

Add the egg into the mixing bowl also. Combine the beef, past/rice, and egg together.

Now add the seasoning packet to 2 1/4 cups of water. Stir to combine and then pour over the meatballs.

Allow to come to a simmer and reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes until liquid is absorbed and rice/pasta is tender. Serves 4-5.
