Slow Cooker BBQ Ground Beef
Ingredients
  • 3 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 stalks celery, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons prepared mustard
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 3 1/2 cups ketchup
Instructions
1
Initial preparation involves heating a substantial amount of ground beef in a large skillet over an intermediate temperature, stirring occasionally to facilitate even browning, and allowing the meat to break apart as it cooks for approximately 15 minutes. Remove any surplus fat from the skillet.

Next, combine the cooked ground beef with a mixture of sautéed onions, minced garlic, chopped celery, and a blend of seasonings including salt, black pepper, cider vinegar, mustard, brown sugar, and ketchup in a slow cooker. Ensure the ingredients are well incorporated before setting the cooker to its lowest heat setting and allowing it to simmer for 6 to 8 hours.
