Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups barbecue sauce
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 hamburger buns
- 3 tablespoons butter
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the barbecue sauce, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Simmer the mixture for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together and the sauce thickens slightly.
Meanwhile, preheat a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spread the butter evenly across the cut sides of the hamburger buns and toast them in the skillet for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Spoon the BBQ mixture onto the toasted buns, ensuring even portions across each bun.
Serve immediately, optionally pairing with coleslaw, chips, or a favorite side dish.
