This is one of my kids’ favorite recipes and rather than have to hunt it down next time I want to whip up a batch, I am going to jot the recipe down here and keep track of this family favorite. Super easy in the slow cooker, and great to share with neighbors and friends.

Ingredients
- 3 pounds of ground beef
- 1 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1 1/2 cup celery, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 TBS Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup catsup
- 3 beef bouillon cubes, or 3 tsp beef stock base
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 3 TBS vinegar
- 3 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp dried mustard
- Brown beef in a skillet, discard extra fat. Combine all ingredients in slow cooker. Cook on low 6-8 hours, or high 3-4 hours (or whatever works best for your slow cooker).
- Serve over hamburger buns or pasta. We like the mini-buns from Trader Joes. I also liked grated cheese on mine!
Can be doubled easily, depending on the size of your slow cooker. And leftovers can be frozen for a later date.
