Gravy
We had this at a Ladies Rally in Emo, Ontario in June, 1981. It is a fun meal to serve, good to serve after you've just done a major grocery shopping since there are quite a few ingredients.
I don't know how many this serves, but would guess at least a dozen. When this is served the ingredients are served in order. Begin with the rice, then the chicken and gravy, followed by the remaining ingredients in the order given.
Mix together:
1 1/2 lb. ground beef
1 cup quick oatmeal
1 egg
1/2 pkg. dry onion soup mix
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. black pepper
Form into small meatballs and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 325ºF for 30-45 minutes or until nicely browned. Pour off excess fat. Pour a little water on the cookie sheet and return to oven briefly.
