Instructions
- Mix baking soda with ¼ cup water in a bowl and add ground beef and toss. The baking soda will help the beef brown faster and more evenly. Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan on medium high heat. Add bell pepper, onion, and celery and sauté for 5 minutes. Cook, stirring occasionally until onions are translucent.
- Add garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add ground beef into the pan. Sprinkle with salt. Brown beef, then use a slotted spoon to remove from pan.
- Strain off ¾ of the fat in your pan. Add ketchup, tomato sauce, Worcestershire, vinegar, sugar, spices to the ground beef and vegetables. Use a wooden spoon to break up any chunks of ground beef. Add ground cloves, thyme, and cayenne pepper.
- Lower heat to medium low and let simmer for 10 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste.
- Serve with toasted hamburger buns.
