2 pounds ground beef, lean, flanken, or stew beef
Use a covered casserole large enough to hold the meat and gravy. Preheat oven to 375°F.
Combine all ingredients and cook slowly in a covered casserole on top of the stove or in a 375°F oven for 2-4 hours (depending on the meat used).
Adjust to taste by adding a little sugar or lemon juice.
Poster's Notes:
2) If using ground meat mix the meat with 1/4 cup ketchup diluted with 3 tablespoons of water and additional seasonings of choice. Form into small balls (about walnut size), place on parchment lined pan and bake in a 375°F oven for 10 minutes. This will release some of the extra fat. Then continue with the preparation.
