1 Large Yellow Onion (Chopped)

2 Tablespoons Cooking Oil

2 Pounds Lean Ground Beef

1/4 Cup Brown Sugar (Lightly Packed)

Directions:

Add Cooking Oil to a large skillet and heat.
Add the chopped Celery, Onion, and Bell Pepper
and cook until the vegetables are barely tender.
Stir constantly to prevent burning. Add the Ground Beef
and cook until the Beef is browned. Stir well while
cooking to break up the Beef. Drain off any excess grease
