Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef 85/15
- 1/2 yellow onion diced
- 1/2 green bell pepper diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 6 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Brown the beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the onion and bell pepper, breaking it up as it cooks, about 6-8 minutes. Drain off the excess grease.
- Add the garlic: Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Build the sauce: Stir in the ketchup, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
- Serve: Spoon onto hamburger buns and serve warm.
Notes
Let the sauce simmer the full 10-15 minutes uncovered, it thickens up and the sweet-tangy flavor balances out instead of tasting like straight ketchup.
