Ingredients:

12 oz 90% lean ground beef	½ cup water
1 large onion, finely diced	¼ cup cider vinegar
2 cups finely chopped cremini mushrooms (about 4 oz)	¼ cup chili sauce, such as Heinz
5 plum tomatoes, diced	¼ cup ketchup
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour	8 whole-wheat hamburger buns, toasted

Total Prep + Cook time = 1 hour, 20 minutes

Feel free to make any substitutions you prefer.

Ground turkey or soy works great in place of the lean ground beef, if desired.

Directions:

1. Crumble beef into a large nonstick skillet; cook over medium heat until it starts to sizzle, about 1 minute.  Add onion and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the vegetables are soft and the moisture has evaporated, 8-10 minutes.

2. Add tomatoes and flour; stir to combine.  Stir in water, vinegar, chili sauce and ketchup and bring to a simmer, stirring often.  Reduce heat to a low simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and the onion is very tender, 8-10 minutes. 

3. Serve warm on buns.
