This is a favorite of half my family! We traditionally serve it with peas over the top or on the side but usually on top for some reason--it is pretty that way! The original recipe called for hamburger patties, but we prefer it with browned hamburger.
1 lb. carne molida (hamburger to us)
2 cups catsup or ketchup
5 T. sugar
3-4 T. vinegar*
5 T. Worchestershire Sauce (they have Lea & Perrins here)
1/3 to 1/2 cup water
4 cups prepared white rice
peas (optional) I use frozen peas as they are the prettiest!
Brown the hamburger and drain. In a bowl or large measuring cup, mix the next 5 ingredients stirring to combine. Pour over the meat and simmer for 15 minutes or to the consistency you like. Serve over the rice and sprinkle with peas if desired.
As is, it should be a nice gravy consistency sauce. If you cook it longer, it will get thick and can be used like sloppy Joe's.
*Check your vinegar. Sometimes it is very strong and will overpower the rest, sometimes weak and needs more added.
It makes about 6 servings.
