2 pounds lean ground beef
3 slices bacon, diced
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 (1.25 ounce) package instant Italian-style pizza sauce mix
1/4 cup hot water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking pan.
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over high heat and drain excess fat. Pour in bacon, salt and pepper and cook until evenly brown. Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion and pizza sauce mix. Spread mixture over the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch pan. Top with sauce mixture and spread ketchup mixture over top. Place remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
