After vegetables have cooked, move to crock pot.

Brown in same frying pan:
  • 3 to 4 pounds lean ground beef
Drain off fat and add to crock pot

While the beef is browning add the following ingredients together in a bowl and mix together:
  • 3 cups ketchup
  • ⅓ cup vinegar
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ¾ cup water
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
Mix well and add to crock pot.

Make sure all ingredients are mixed together.

Cook in crockpot on low 3-4 hours.

This recipe was inspired by a recipe that I saw on Facebook that was attributed to Ingrid Wolf. I used her recipe as a guide and adjusted it to my family's taste.
