Taverns

(recipe from Lin Walker)

2 ½ lbs ground beef

2 oz ketchup

1 ½ tsp prepared mustard

1 ½ tsp horseradish

1 ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce

2 ½ tsp salt

½ cup finely ground onion

Put the ketchup, mustard, horseradish, and Worcestershire sauce in a cup measure. Fill the cup with water to make one cup. Place the beef in a Dutch oven. Chop with a spoon and sprinkle with the salt. Pour the liquid mixture over the meat. Brown slowly and then simmer for about half an hour. Serve on buns with mustard and dill pickle chips.

Note: Do not use any fancy-schmancy mustards here – just good, old cheap school bus yellow mustard.
