Maid Rites by Julie

***This recipe makes 3 lbs of meat!  You could double this and split it between us so we each get a little over a pound of ground beef...is that reasonable?  Or do families need more?***

Ingredients
2 T. dried onions
1 T. warm water
3 lbs. lean ground beef
1 beef bouillon cube (low sodium)
1 chicken bouillon cube (also low sodium)
1 1/2 c. water
2 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 T. low sodium soy sauce
2 T. cider vinegar
2 T. brown sugar


To Cook:

1. Start slow cooker on high, add dried onion and 1 T. warm water. (Allow onion to rehydrate a bit.)
2. In crock pot, break up  ground beef, and stir in 1 1/2 cups water and all other ingredients well.
3. Cover. Cook on high 4 hours or until ground beef is cooked, stirring occasionally to prevent beef from clumping. The ingredients should have a smooth texture.

To Freeze:

In a large freezer baggie, place raw beef .  Keep dried onion, bouillon cubes, and brown sugar separate in your pantry.  In a smaller baggie, put worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, vinegar.

Thaw beef and small baggie of ingredients to prepare.

Serve on hamburger buns with tomatoes, onions, pickles, or any topping you desire.
