A perfect mid-week dinner idea. Or for when only comfort-food will do.

 Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 rib of celery, chopped

1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Worchestershire sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper

Method:

1. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion, celery, pepper, and oregano until onion is translucent and pepper is soft, about 6 minutes.
2.  Add ground beef breaking up any clumps and mix well. Add Three Pepper Ketchup, water, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce,  brown sugar, salt, and pepper.
3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and cover. Continue cooking for about 30 minutes, stirring regularly.  
4. Serve hot on toasted rolls or baguettes topped with shredded Mexican cheese and a bit more Three Pepper Ketchup.
