Directions

  1. Place meatloaf mix in a large mixing bowl, crumble bread over meat and knead with hands to combine. Add milk and egg to meat mixture. Knead onion, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and pepper into meat mixture until well-combined. Form mixture into six equal-sized balls.

  2. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook and stir meatballs in hot butter until browned on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir water, tomatoes, beef broth, and onion soup mix into Dutch oven, bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until meatballs are tender and cooked through, about 1 hour.
