Combine the following in a skillet:

• two pounds of cooked beef
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1 (10.75-ounce) can condensed tomato soup
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.

Directions:

Place ground beef in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery, cover the pan and cook over medium heat until beef is thawed and onions and celery are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato soup (undiluted), ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce into the beef mixture. Season with salt and garlic powder. Simmer over low heat until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently. Spoon the hot beef mixture onto hamburger buns, which may be toasted first. Serves 8.
