For the filling, cook the ground beef in a large skillet until all of it is browned. Once finished, drain any excess fat and add the sliced onion and diced carrots to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 3 :

Add frozen peas and corn, tomato soup, ketchup, water (optional), red wine vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper to the skillet. Stir until everything is combined. Lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated from the mixture. Finally add in a few tablespoons of butter, stirring until melted.
