Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 cup Dill pickle slices
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons (softened) Butter
- 4 whole Hamburger buns
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the barbecue sauce, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.
Butter each side of the hamburger buns evenly using the softened butter.
Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Place the buttered buns face down on the griddle and toast until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Spoon the ground beef mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a few slices of dill pickles on top of the beef.
Place one slice of cheddar cheese over the pickles on each sandwich.
Top each sandwich with the other half of the bun.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Chuckwagon Sandwiches!
