Totally easy! I have an electric cooker, so made a couple adjustments: not on a rack, High pressure 20 minutes cooking time - 28 Feb 2012
Easy to make . I agree with some other reviewers that the meatball itself is not as tasty as the sauce. So one must have plenty of sauce to dip the porcupine balls into for the full enjoyment. I will make again but will try some variations of the tomato sauce and additional spices to the meatballs next time. - 20 Apr 2017
Although the recipe was easy to follow, the end result was very disappointing. There was little to no flavor in the meatball itself - the flavor only came from the tomato soup, in which I added fresh parsley and onion. If I attempt this again, I will have to up the flavor of the meatball. - 28 Nov 2007 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
