Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 6 ounces tomato paste
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef until fully cooked, allowing the meat to caramelize for enhanced flavor. Drain any excess fat before proceeding.
  2. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Transfer the browned beef into the slow cooker. Add tomato paste, chopped onions, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cumin, beef broth, brown sugar, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 5 to 6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to develop a rich, deep taste.
  4. Final Seasoning and Thickness Check: About 30 minutes before serving, stir the sauce well. If it appears too thin, thicken it by adding a cornstarch and water slurry or letting it cook uncovered to reduce. Adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

Notes

  • Use quality ground beef with higher fat content for richer flavor but drain excess grease to avoid an oily sauce.
  • Brown the beef thoroughly to enhance flavor through the Maillard reaction.
  • Do not skip the Worcestershire sauce as it adds crucial umami and depth.
  • To intensify spice flavors, briefly toast chili powder or cumin in a dry skillet before adding.
  • Adjust sauce thickness at the end of cooking for perfect consistency, avoiding dryness.
