- When the meat is brown, drain the juices and oil from the pan..
- Stir in the Sauce ingredients with the Meat and Veggies. TIP: start light on the salt and pepper. More can be added later, to taste. Only add the water if the consistency is looking thicker than you prefer..
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 20 minutes. Stir occasionally..

- Taste periodically through cooking. Add salt, pepper, and/or water as needed..
