Why is this called the Porcupines Skillet? It could be called anything and let's be honest, this dish doesn't resemble a spiny woodland creature at all. But wait! Porcupines Skillet is based on Porcupine meatballs, which mix meatballs with rice! And this delicious skillet serves up beef and rice, as well as tender mushrooms and melty cheese! So, it all does make sense. Tasty, tasty sense! Hooray!
