Instructions
- In a large frying pan or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef and chopped onions over medium heat until the meat is browned and the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
- Stir in the V-8 vegetable juice or tomato juice, catsup, sugar, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce, then simmer uncovered over low heat for 2 hours.
- Remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking if the sauce appears too thin.
- The mixture will resemble spaghetti sauce and can be stored well and frozen.
- Serve on cocktail rolls as an hors d'oeuvre or piled on hamburger buns for lunch.
