TEXAS MEATBALLS AND RICE 
1 lb. ground beef
1 1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 lg. onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tsp. salt
1 can (16 oz.) stewed tomatoes
1 lg. green pepper, chopped
3/4 c. uncooked instant rice

Microwave:

1. Mix ground beef, egg, chili powder, salt and pepper. Shape into 1 1/2 - 2 inch balls. Place in 2 quart casserole. Microwave at HIGH until meatballs are set and lose pink color, 4 to 7 minutes, rearranging meatballs after half the cooking time. Drain.

2. Stir in remaining ingredients; cover. Microwave at HIGH until mixture is bubbly and onions are tender, 4 to 7 minutes. If using oven other than Sharp Carousel, stir after half the cooking time. Let stand until rice is tender, 2 to 3 minutes.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
