Prepare the béchamel by melting the butter in a frying pan over low heat. Add the chopped onion until translucent, without browning it.
Then, pour the flour slowly and stir until a toasted colour. Pour the milk slowly. Continue cooking a few minutes on low heat, continuously stirring until you have a thick béchamel sauce.

While stirring, add the minced meat, a pinch of salt, pepper and nutmeg. Let cook for a few minutes. Set aside and cool for 1 night.
