6. Pour 2 cups of hot water into a large liquid measuring cup. Add the seasoning packet from the Rice A Roni box to the water along with the powder beef gravy mix and stir it in to combine.

7. Pour the liquid over the top of the browned meatballs. Also pour in the Liquid Beef gravy. Reduce the heat to medium low and allow the liquid to come to a simmer. Cover the pan and let the meatballs simmer away for 30-40 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice and pasta in the meatballs are cooked through. You can also cook this in Pressure Cooker on high for 10 minutes, just be sure to add a tablespoon of olive oil to the bottom of the pan.

Serve and enjoy!
