Taco Balls

Taco Balls (for the Taco Balls) 1 lb hamburger, no more than 10% fat ½ cup chopped onions 1 package of taco seasoning (or what you usually use for 1 lbs of beef) 1 tsp. garlic salt or onion salt 1 cup of "cooked" Mexican or white rice 2 eggs, beaten 12 oz bottle of red or green taco sauce (any brand, whatever level of heat you like) 1 can of condensed cheese soup (I use Campbell's) 8 - 12 oz shredded Mexican cheese blend (or whatever cheese you love for tacos) Serve With Your Favorite Taco Toppings: (examples) additional Mexican Rice tortillas (we love to stuff warm tortillas with taco balls) chips guacamole salsa sour cream onions tomatoes olives lettuce Preheat the oven to 350 and spray a 9x9 baking dish with nonstick spray. Set aside. Crumble the beef into a bowl. Add the chopped onions, taco seasoning, garlic or onion salt, rice and eggs. If desired use food service gloves or spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray. Use your hands to mix the contents of the bowl until combined but do not over mix. Divide the meat into 9 portions and form into balls. Place in the prepared pan and bake at 350 F degrees for 20 minutes. In a medium bowl whisk together the taco sauce and cheese soup. After the balls have baked for 20 minutes spoon the sauce over the balls. •Sprinkle the cheese over the top and bake another 20 minutes. **Notes This recipe freezes really well! Prepare it and bake according to directions. Cool down and freeze. When ready to use, just thaw and reheat in the oven and they are wonderful!
