Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- toppings of choice (e.g., pickles, lettuce, cheese)
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and add ground beef. Break it apart with a wooden spoon or spatula, cooking until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the beef mixture in the sauce.
Simmer the mixture for 4-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly, if preferred, by placing them on a dry skillet or toasting them in a toaster until golden brown.
Spoon generous portions of the sloppy hamburger mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. Add toppings of your choice, such as pickles, lettuce, or cheese slices. Top with the other half of the bun to serve.
Serve warm and enjoy your Simply Sloppy Hamburgers!
