Description

Despite its name, Greek Sauce is actually a regional favorite of western Pennsylvania as a topping for hot dogs, hamburgers, and even French fries. In this iteration of the sauce, ground beef is simmered with a variety of spices, tomato sauce, and mustard.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
2 small onions, chopped
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard

Directions

1 Place the beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until beef is completely brown; drain. Stir the onions, tomato sauce, water, salt, pepper, oregano, basil, garlic powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, and yellow mustard into the beef. Bring to a boil; lower heat to medium-low and simmer 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
