Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

  • 4 cups water

  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

  • 2 tablespoons beef base

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef, onion, and garlic in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly and onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
