However this consistently works: 5-6 cups of low sodium tomato or vegetable juice or 48 ounces of quality tomato sauce, 1-1.5 cups of ketchup, 1-2 fresh bay leaves, pinch of thyme, Worchestshire sauce, and sugar or other sweetner to taste. Note some canned brands of tomatoes do not taste as good, so taste test in advance. At same time I lightly brown 2-3 lbs of 80-85% ground beef till no longer pink and drain (ground dried tofu or veggie burger works too) then mix all of above with 4 whipped eggs, salt/pepper one can add other seasonings. While rice is par-steaming, I saute onions and fine diced celery till soft, add minced garlic for a minute, then off heat add 1/4 cup fresh parsley. I pre-steam rice in half amount of normal liquid so rice is still firm but not hard. I assume using low-fat raw ground sirloin and baked in one or two slayer, this might not be issue, but have never made them that way. I often found those I treid made with raw ground meat are often steamed, the meat looks rare and texture was mushy.
