Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
1 lbs ground beef
1 large onion, minced
3 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
1 1/2 cups water
3 tablespoons brown sugar
Several dashes Worcestershire
Salt, pepper, garlic pepper, garlic powder and seasoning salt to taste
Instructions:I browned my meat on medium high heat with the chopped onions first in about 1 1/2 cups of water in a Cast Iron Skillet. Once the meat was browned I used my Pampered Chef chopper to chop the onion and meat to a very fine consistency.
My meat was extremely lean so I did not need to drain it, however; if you are using ground meat with a higher fat content you will probably want to drain (and possibly rinse) your meat.
Add the garlic and cook for a couple minutes. Add all remaining ingredients.
Lower heat to low and just simmer for about 45 minutes.
I like to taste the meat after about 15 minutes and add additional seasoning if necessary.
