 Combine meat, broken into chunks and sauteed vegetables in the slow
 cooker. Stir in catsup, brown sugar, mustard, salt, paprika,
 pepper, water, vinegar, and worcestershire sauce; stir until
 well-blended; cover.

 Cook on low for 8 hours, stirring after 4 hours if possible or on
 high for 4 hours, stirring after 2 hours. Spoon over your choice of
 hot cornbread squares, rice, toast, or tamales.
