1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
1/2 pound ground pork
2 eggs, beaten

1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
5 cups beef broth

Directions:
1. Tear bread into small pieces, and place in a small shallow bowl. Add water to cover, and let soak about 5 minutes. Squeeze water from bread; discard water. Set bread aside.
