Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef

- 1 tablespoon minced onion
- 2 cups beef or chicken broth (or homemade chicken broth)

Directions
- In a large bowl, mix together the raw hamburger, oats, and minced onion. Add in additional spices if desired for special flavors.

- While the meatballs are cooking, cook your rice or pasta. You will also want to cook your gravy during this time.

Add to the broth and stir while adding. Let boil gently, stirring frequently until desired consistency is reached.
