    If you don’t own a pressure cooker, you can cook porcupine meatballs on the stovetop. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the meatballs. Cook meatballs, turning occasionally, brown evenly. Drain and remove the grease. Pour the tomato sauce, 1 cup water, and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until the meatballs are no longer pink in the center and the rice is tender, about 45 minutes. Adding more water if the sauce becomes too thick.
