Sauté onions in a few drops of oil until clear; then brown the hamburger with the onions.
Cooks Note: Original recipe did not call for oil, but our test kitchen used it in the sauté; we also substituted 4 cloves minced fresh garlic for the garlic powder. If garlic powder is used, season to taste; some may find 3 tablespoons overpowering, but the original recipe is included for authenticity.
Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 10 minutes. Recipe may be cut in half if a large amount is not needed or freeze leftover in small containers to use in portions.
This is a very old recipe passed down from generations. You have to try it to believe how wonderful it is!
