Transfer the beef and onion mixture to a crock pot.

Add an 8 oz can of tomato sauce and a teaspoon of sugar to the crock pot.

Stir in spices: 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, 1 teaspoon celery seed, 1/8 teaspoon basil, 1/8 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.

Add 1/2 teaspoon dill and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce to the mixture.

Dissolve a beef bouillon cube in 3/4 cups water and add to the crock pot.

Stir everything together and cover the crock pot.

Cook on high for a few hours until the beef is tender.

Prepare egg noodles and butter them before serving.
