Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 small, finely chopped Yellow onion
- 0.5 cup Beef broth
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 8 pieces (optional) Dill pickle slices
- 4 teaspoons (optional) Prepared yellow mustard
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the ground beef over medium heat. Cook, breaking it up into very small crumbles with a wooden spoon or spatula, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the finely chopped onion to the skillet. Cook for another 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Drain off any excess fat from the skillet if necessary, leaving about 1 tablespoon of grease for added flavor.
Add the beef broth, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Simmer the mixture over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the beef mixture is moist but not soupy.
While the beef mixture is simmering, lightly toast the hamburger buns, if desired, for added texture.
Spoon the loose meat mixture generously onto the bottom halves of the hamburger buns.
Top with dill pickle slices and a drizzle of yellow mustard, if using. Place the top halves of the buns over the filling and serve immediately.
Enjoy your delicious homemade Nuways (Maid Rites)!
