If you have grown up, lived, or traveled to the Midwest, this recipe is from a popular restaurant that was in Lincoln, NE. I've been told it's an acquired taste, but having grown up on them, I love them! It's a loose meat sandwich. Use a slotted spoon to portion out the meat. Serve on buns with mustard and sliced dill pickles.

  • 4 ounces ketchup, or more to taste

  • 5 teaspoons salt

  • 1 tablespoon prepared mustard

  • 1 tablespoon creamed horseradish

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 cup minced onion

  • 1 teaspoon monosodium glutamate (such as Ac'cent®)

Directions

  1. Combine ketchup, salt, mustard, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and ground black pepper in a 1-cup measuring cup. Add more ketchup if combined ingredients don't equal 1 cup. Stir until well mixed. Place ground beef in a stock pot; pour ketchup mixture over the ground beef.
