 | | During the Great Depression, and shortly thereafter, ground beef gained popularity in America because it was both economical and nourishing. |
 | | Cooks often added inexpensive fillers (bread crumbs, ketchup, tomato paste, eggs, sweet peppers, minced onions, Worcestershire sauce, bottled horseradish, pickle relish, mustard, salt and pepper were among the most popular) to stretch the meat. |
 | | This ground beef mixture was then fashioned into meatballs, meat loaves, hamburger stew, and loose meat sandwiches. |
