1 cup bread crumbs

1/2 cup finely diced onion

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 lb ground beef

In a large bowl, combine first 7 ingredients. Crumble beef and pork over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1 1/2 inch meatballs. Melt butter in a large non-stick skillet. Place half of the meatballs in the skillet and cook until no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels; place in a medium bowl and cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining meatballs. 

In a small bowl, combine ingredients for sauce. Stir into skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Pour sauce over meatballs. Serve meatballs over rice.
