2 slices white bread, crusts removed
1 small onion, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon mace, ground

Chill for about 30 minutes.

Make into 4-6 meatballs.

Heat the butter and brown the meatballs for about 15 minutes, turning them a couple of times.

We soak the bread in a bit of milk, and then press out the milk from the bread before adding to the ground beef.
