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

Mix ground beef, egg, chili powder, salt and pepper. Shape into 1 1/2 to 2 inch balls. Place in 2-quart casserole. Microwave at HIGH (100%) until meatballs are set and lose pink color, 4 to 7 minutes, rearranging meatballs after half the cooking time. Drain. Stir in remaining ingredients; cover. Microwave at HIGH (100%) until mixture is bubbly and onions are tender, 4 to 7 minutes, stirring after half the cooking time. Let stand, covered, until rice is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. 4 servings.

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