version".

DQ BBQ
It's nothing spectacular:
2 lbs Hamburger (I have found that the burger, whether the leanness or the quality, makes a difference.)
1/2 cup onion
1/2 cup celery
Brown together, then add:
8 oz tomato soup (notice that this BBQ recipe uses no tomato paste)
1/4 cup catsup
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/8 pepper
1 1/2 tbsp Worcester sauce
1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
Simmer for 15 minutes.
We used to add the thick sliced govt
cheese (mom ran a daycare in the house and we loved that cheese. The
kind most schools have. You can get a similar huge brick at most
grocery stores) and some potato chips on top, then put the bun on! Gave
it a salty crunch.

Dairy Delite YUM YMS from Fred Mundt:
For every pound of hamburger
1 medium onion, diced
1 teaspoons mustard
1 teaspoon Chili Powder
1 teaspoon horseradish
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup ketchup
Salt and pepper to taste
Put a little water in with onions and cook until tender. Then add hamburger and let cook until
hamburger is done. When onions and hamburger are cooking at very high temperature, wat and stir
occasionally. If it lumps, take potato masher and mash.
Add other ingredients and let simmer at least one hour. When other ingredients are add, turn heat to 275 -300 degrees.
Get about 8 sandwiches to one pound of hamburger.
For large amounts, your electric roaster is heat for this. Also, if there is any left over, it can be frozen. I
usually take small containers so that you don’t have to thaw out more than you want at one time.
Also, if you like things spicier, you can increase each of the above. This is just a good basic recipe that
you can experiment with by adding that making it taste better

This was served at the DQ at 738 S Potomac St, Waynesboro, PA.
User Vanessa Smith Findiesen says it was her mother’s recipe,
which she gave to user Brenda Sebald, who posted it to the group.
It was Betty Smiths recipe, and
everyone loved it and loved her. I always made hugh batches at D.Q. and
eyeballed the ingredients. Here's the recipe.
10 lb. 80/20 ground beef, brown and drain the grease.
Add half of a #10 can Hunt's ketchup, mix into hamburger.
Then add about 2 cups dehydrated onions, mix into hamburger.
Then add 3 -4 heaping tablespoons of flour, mix well into hamburger.
Then add 1-1/2 cups of water.
Cook until you reach 160 degrees. Be sure to stir often to prevent burning.
You can adjust ingredients amounts as
you make it over and over to the recipe of your liking. I preferred
eating my steamer after it had simmered for hours, but majority liked
it freshly heated.

This recipe comes from the Facebook group "Good ole days of Dumas Texas Texas". See original post
HERE.
This was served at the DQ in Dumas, Texas.
Group administrator Debbie Rollins posted the recipe but another user,
Dovie Marie Sanders Poole, posted what she said was the "original one
given by the owner to my mother on their 50th wedding anniversary!".
The "original" one has 4 teaspoons of cumin as opposed to 4
tablespoons, leading me to believe this is the correct version
because 4 tablespoons would be overpowering.
