1 lb. ground beef
1/2 c. uncooked white rice
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. celery salt
2 tbsp. chopped green pepper
1 tbsp. grated onion
1 sm. clove garlic, minced (optional)
4 c. tomato juice
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

Mix together the ground beef and rice. Stir in salt, black pepper, celery salt, green pepper, grated onion and garlic. Form into 18 small meat balls. Pour the tomato juice into a large skillet. Add Worcestershire sauce and sugar. Mix well. Add meat balls. Cover and simmer over a low heat one hour or until rice is tender. Occasionally turn the meat balls over if they are not completely covered with tomato juice.
