Mmmm.... quite delicious! The tomato juice just wasn't enough and I ended up topping the meatballs with ketchup for the last 15 minutes of baking. I would also recommend minute rice instead of regular rice for this dish.
I should also note that it was really, really mushy when forming into balls, but it turned out fine with the extra baking time.
