Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 cup onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1.5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, or yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Equipment

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and onion. Sauté, crumbling the meat as you stir. I like to use a ground beef chopper (linked above), but that is totally optional!
  • Drain the beef, then return it to the skillet.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and stir to coat the ground beef crumbles.
  • Cover and allow to simmer for 5 minutes on low.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

CROCKPOT: You can absolutely make this in the crockpot!
Brown the beef and onions on the stove, then transfer to the crock pot. Add the remaining ingredients and cook on low for 4-5 hours.
