In a mixing bowl, combine the onion, eggs, water, oats, mustard, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Add the ground beef and mix well. Shape the meat mixture into 16 large meatballs (about 1/3 cup each). Place shaped meatballs in a shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 oven for 25 minutes or till no pink remains.

MEATBALL GRAVY: In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the meatball drippings with 2 cups beef broth, 2 teaspoons prepared mustard, 11/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon sauce and broth concentrate or Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, stirring till combined. Stir in 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Makes 2 cups.
