Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet and return it to the stovetop.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the ground beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
While the beef mixture is simmering, optionally toast your hamburger buns. Spread a thin layer of butter onto the cut side of each bun and place them butter-side down in a separate skillet or on a griddle over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Spoon the beef mixture onto the bottom halves of the hamburger buns, dividing it evenly among the four buns, and then top with the other halves of the buns.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious G I Joes!
