Any Missing Ingredients?, Member ncpatriot

I tried this, taste was good. But no way to simmer it several hours, has no liquid, unless you're suppsed to keep all the grease from the beef. I drained fat, kept the little broth. Should it have some tomato sauce or paste? Is good flavor, but needs more binder.
