Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 0.75 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces burger buns
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the beef.
Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired.
Spoon the meat mixture evenly onto the bottom halves of the buns, then top with the other halves.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
