Dutch Meatballs (gehaktballen)

1 lb ground sirloin

1 lbs ground pork

3 slices white bread

1 egg

1 tsp salt

1/2 pepper

1  1/2 tsp nutmeg

1 small onion minced

mustard

1 stick margarine

1 can beef broth

1 can diced tomatoes

Combine milk and bread in a large bowl  - squeeze bread until throughly mushy - add egg, salt, pepper onion and nutmeg  and still until well mixed - add sirloin and pork and mix until all ingredients are incorporated.  form mixture into 8 meatballs  - smear mustard on your hands and  roll the balls until coated. (Yes they will be large)

Melt margarine in a heavy bottomed pot or dutch oven

place 4 meatballs in the pot and brown on all sides - don't be hasty - you have to wait for a crust to form - then they will turn easily - do the same with the other meatballs

Return all the meat balls to the post and add broth and tomatoes - add enough water to cover bring to a boil and then simmer on low for about an hour.
