A quick, tangy sauce gives these family-pleasing sandwiches lots of zip. “I've had this recipe for years,” writes Sharon Zagar of Gardner, Illinois. “I've given it out many, many times.”

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 2 celery ribs, sliced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
  • 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 6 hamburger buns, split

Directions

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, cook beef, celery and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
  2. Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, barbecue sauce, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Spoon 3/4 cup onto each bun.
