Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 4 pieces soft hamburger buns
- pickle slices (optional, for serving)
- mustard or ketchup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and finely chopped onion to the skillet. Cook while breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon until the beef is fully browned and the onion is soft, about 8-10 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet, if necessary, and return it to the heat.
Stir in the beef broth, yellow mustard, brown sugar, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has mostly evaporated and the beef is well-seasoned.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Spoon the loose meat mixture onto the bottom halves of the hamburger buns. Top with pickles, mustard, or ketchup if desired, and then cover with the bun tops.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, like potato chips, coleslaw, or fries.
