Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
  • ½ onion (chopped)
  • ½ green bell pepper (finely chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 1 cup tomato sauce (or tomato passata)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)

Instruction

  • Brown the beef: Add the butter to a large skillet and melt it over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the ground beef and cook, stirring often and breaking apart as you go, until the beef is fully cooked.
  • Sauté veg: To the same skillet add the onion and bell pepper. Stir occasionally and cook until the onion is softened and translucent, 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Simmer: Add the rest of the ingredients to the skillet and stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and glossy.
  • Finish: Spoon over halved buns and serve.
