Taverns Recipe

Brown the ground beef, onion, and garlic in skillet until cooked. Drain the grease from the skillet. Add remaining ingredients to meat mixture and simmer until heated through. If you use tomato sauce you will want to let it simmer for at least 30 minutes or it will taste "tomato-ey". If you're in a hurry, use ketchup.

If this is too thick you can add a bit of water, or more juice, ketchup, or some honey. A dash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce is good too. Ladle on hamburger buns. Although not traditional, you can also serve over bread, rice, or noodles, depending on what you happen to have around.
