I'm not sure if it's chili, or stew, or a shepherd's pie without the crust, but there is nothing like it over some toast on a cold night. Rich and hearty, just downright yummy.
INGREDIENTS (for 8 servings):
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 large onions, sliced
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups ketchup
- 1 cup beef stock
- 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- 3 tablespoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup water
PREPARATION:
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saute onions until browned; remove from pot, and set aside. Add ground beef to pot, and cook until evenly brown. Add garlic, and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in browned onions, and cook on high heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of water. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Stir in ketchup, beef stock, and teriyaki sauce. Season with pepper, curry powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cover, and simmer for about 2 hours.
Mix together 1 tablespoon flour and 1/2 cup water. Stir into stew, and cook until thickened.
