Porcupine Meatballs

I got this recipe from a good friend many years ago. I've been making them ever since. It's kind of a meal in one pot. There's meat, vegetable juice, and rice. Add a salad and you're good to go.

1 egg
1/2 cup water
1 envelope onion soup mix, divided
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/2 cup uncooked regular rice, divided
1 can (46 oz.) tomato juice
1 teaspoon sugar

Directions:
1. Beat egg slightly with water and 2 Tablespoons of the soup mix. Mix lightly with ground beef and 1/4 cup of the rice. Shape into 12 balls. Roll in remaining rice.
2. Heat tomato juice to boiling. Stir in remaining onion soup mix and sugar. Place meatballs into tomato juice. Cover.
3. Simmer 50 minutes or until rice puffs out around meat and is tender.
