Step 1

Heat a frying pan or large pot with a bit of cooking oil over medium high heat. Add 1 lb lean ground beef and break apart with a spatula. Cook until ground beef has browned. Add to a plate and set aside. Use a paper towel and spatula to swish around and absorb excess grease from the pan.

Step 2

Add 1 cup chopped yellow onion, 2 minced garlic cloves and 2 chopped celery stalks to the pan with 1 Tbsp more of cooking oil. Cook until the vegetables have softened.

Step 3

Add back in the cooked ground beef along with ¾ cup ketchup (or tomato sauce), 1 Tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp worcestershire sauce, and 2 tsp yellow mustard. Cook for 5-10 minutes, until the mixture has thickened.

Step 4

Serve with toasted hamburger buns (see notes) and enjoy!
