Ingredients

Instructions

  • Working in batches, cook and crumble the ground beef until no longer pink. Using multiple pans helps.
  • Transfer meat to large pot or sloe cookers.
  • Add tomato sauce and seasoning to the meat. Add enough water so the mixture is very loose.
  • On low or medium-low heat, stirring often, simmer the meat in the sauce until the sauce is smooth and no longer grainy. Add more water if necessary.
  • Keep meat warm on stove top, in slow cookers, or in a 150℉-degree oven until serving.

Notes

If preparing the meat a day in advance, refrigerate the meat, covered, overnight. Reheat on the stove-top over low or medium-low heat, stirring often.
