Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook ground beef in a little oil for 10 to 15 minutes, ensuring it does not brown or form lumps.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, catsup, vinegar, sugar, and mustard to the beef.
- Cook over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Cool quickly before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
To achieve a perfect texture, ensure the ground beef is cooked gently without browning, which helps maintain moisture. If you're looking for a healthier option, ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for the beef. For a kick of flavor, consider adding chopped onions or bell peppers to the mix. This dish is great for potlucks, so don't hesitate to scale the recipe up.
