Recipe Introduction



This recipe is from a handwritten cookbook book, which was given to me by a wonderful woman and friend. I post it in her memory. Her life was taken by a drunk driver.


List of Ingredients







1 chopped onion
1/2 c chopped celery
1 c water
2 lb lean ground beef
1 bottle ketchup, 14 oz
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp vinegar
2 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 c lemon juice
1/2 tbsp prepared mustard



Recipe





Boil onion and celery in water for 15 minutes.

Brown ground beef. Add other ingredients. Add onion and celery (with water).

Simmer, uncovered, for an hour, stirring often.

Serve over buns or slices of bread.

I often make it using tomato sauce instead of ketchup and adjusting the spices.
