1 1/2 pounds of ground beef
1 egg
1/2 cup bread crumbs (Panko crumbs work well if you can find them - Asian section)
Oregano
Basil
Salt
Alfredo sauce - large jar (more depending on how many you are feeding. All the ingredients can be doubled to make a large batch.)
Mix and form into small meat balls. Brown the meat balls in a bit of oil until nicely browned on all sides. Medium heat so they cook and don't dry out or burn. Remove the meat balls from the pan BUT DON'T CLEAN THE PAN! All those drippings are good for the sauce. Add your Alfredo sauce to the pan and gently warm up. Keep stirring up and scraping all the meat bits in the pan into your sauce. Return the meat balls and simmer on very, very low heat for 20 minutes. If the pan has a lid, cover it. If not, you might have to add a bit of water to keep it the same liquidity.
In a large, microwave-proof bowl, add two cups rice and four cups water. Cook in microwave about 15-20 minutes until all the water is absorbed.
Serve the meat balls over the rice along with a vegetable or salad because you mother will ASK about that!

This is the meal we're preparing for tomorrow night's get-together. It works out very well because I have alfredo sauce left over from the chicken pot pie recipe.
