Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 8 pieces Pickle slices
Instructions
Finely dice the onion and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and immediately start breaking it up into small crumbles with a wooden spoon or spatula.
When the beef begins to brown, add the diced onion to the pan and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully browned and the onions are soft.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add water, yellow mustard, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the mixture is moist but not soupy.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly, if desired.
Spoon the loosemeat mixture generously onto the bottom half of each bun.
Top the loosemeat mixture with pickle slices and the bun top. Serve immediately.
