Ingredients

  • 1 lb. cooked ground beef, from freezer, thawed
  • 3 onions, diced/chopped
  • 4 Tbsp mustard, yellow
  • 3 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Break hamburger meat into small pieces. You can use a meat grinder if you have one to make it a very fine consistency.
  • Place cooked meat into a medium saucepan and add enough hot water to make a thick mixture as it cooks, stirring until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and cook over low heat for 1 hour.
  • If you need to thin the sauce you may use small amounts of water or beer as the mixture cooks.

Notes

Adding about ¼ cup water to the ground beef while you brown it will help to break it into small pieces.
This recipe freezes well.
