• Recipe adapted from Grandpa Jerry
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
• 1 teaspoon low sodium beef base (or a bouillon cube)
• 1 teaspoon low sodium chicken base (or a bouillon cube)

Preparation

Step 1

Set slow cooker to high. Add all ingredients (except beef). Stir to combine. Add beef and stir until all combined and beef is completely coated.

Cover and cook for 1 hour. Stir occasionally to break up ground beef. Uncover after 1 hour of cook time. Continue cooking on high for 2 ½ - 3 hours (with cover removed), until most of the liquid has cooked off. Continue to stir occasionally and break up any chunks of beef.

Using a slotted spoon, serve a heaping spoonful on a warm bun and load it up with your favorite toppings. We love cheese, ketchup and pickles!
