Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
1 can tomato soup
1/2 can water
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 teaspoon mustard
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
salt and pepper, to taste
bread
butter
American cheese slices
dill pickle sandwich chips

Instructions

Brown ground beef with onion, drain grease. Stir in soup, water, ketchup, mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt and pepper. Simmer on low for 1-2 hours, stirring frequently. Heat griddle to 350 degrees F. Butter one side of bread slice and place buttered side down on griddle. Top with a slice of cheese, enough tavern meat mixture to just cover the bread, dill
pickles and another slice of bread, buttered side up. Grill 2-3 minutes on each side or until bread is browned and crispy. Let cool a bit before slicing in half diagonally. Tavern meat mixture freezes well for later use.
