1 pkg. cranberries
1 large pkg. mini marshmallows
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 can crushed pineapple
3/4 c. nuts (walnuts)
2 1/2 pt. whipping cream
1/2 c. sugar, divided in half
2 to 3 lb. fresh ground chuck, coarsely ground
3 cloves garlic
1 large onion or 3 small or 2 medium or whatever
3 or 4 (16 oz.) cans tomato sauce

1
Put about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large pot and heat it up.
2
Mince garlic or put it through a garlic press and cook in the oil until clear.
3
(Actually, sometimes I mess up and slightly char the garlic and this is kind of an interesting taste also.) Add onions and continue cooking until onions are mostly clear.
4
Add ground chuck and just barely brown it.
5
(If the amount of grease in the pot becomes excessive, drain it off and get leaner beef next time.)
6
Add remaining ingredients and stir until bubbling.
7
Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for at least 30 minutes, but ideally an hour or more.
8
This recipe makes enough to eat a lot and freeze some in suitable containers for a later time.
