This is great for an informal get together. Wonderful served on onion buns.
1 pound ground beef
1 large onion (one cup,) finely chopped
1 large green bell pepper (one cup,) finely chopped
freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup ground olives
1 cup diced celery
3 tablespoons flour
In a Dutch Oven, brown beef slowly, until crumbly, but not hard.
Drain off all fat. Rinse brown beef with hot water, if you want to remove more fat.
Return to Dutch Oven.
Combine all the rest of ingredients and add to browned beef.
Cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
Makes 4 to 6 sandwiches.
This is also great served over mashed potatoes.
