2 pounds ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup diced white or yellow onion 2 cups Hoosier Momma Bloody Mary Maker (www.Hoosier Momma.com)
6-8 sandwich buns 1 cup grated cheddar, optional
In a large non-stick skillet, brown the ground beef until it is no longer pink. Drain off any accumulated fat and place the cooked beef in a heatproof bowl.
Heat the olive oil in the skillet and add the onion. Cook until the onion is softened but not browned.
Add the Hoosier Momma Bloody Mary Maker to the onions in the skillet and bring to a boil.
Lower the heat to a simmer and add the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Simmer the ground beef and sauce mixture, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is almost all absorbed into the meat. Serve immediately on buns and top with grated cheddar, if using. Makes 6-8 sandwiches.
