This recipe makes enough to serve 6-8 people. I give quite a generous portion on large, freshly made bakery buns so we only get about 6 servings out of it, but if you used smaller buns you could serve quite a few more people.

Instructions
- Add the first nine ingredients to the crockpot:
- Stir together to combine ingredients and break up the ground beef.
- Cook on high for 4 hours:
- Stir occasionally to combine ingredients as they cook and to keep the beef from clumping together.
- The smell that emerges from the crockpot each time you stir it is to die for!
- Serve on hamburger buns… don't be shy, the messier it is the more authentic the sandwich!
- Serve with condiments of your choice, but remember the traditional condiments are pickles and mustard.
- I highly recommend ketchup, mustard, and a slice of American cheese.
- Enjoy!!!
Bouillon Notes:
Granulated bouillon or bouillon powder is better for the crockpot, especially if you can't stir it during cooking. If you must use a cube, dissolve them in the 1½ cups of water before adding to the crockpot. I like doing this with any of the bouillon.
The granulated conversion is usually 1 tsp. = 1 cube, but read the jar.
