Ingredients
- beef mince600 g
- burger buns4 pcs
- onion1 pcs
- green bell pepper1 pcs
- garlic2 cloves
- tomato sauce300 g
- ketchup3 tbsp
- brown sugar2 tbsp
- mustard1 tsp
- worcestershire sauce1 tbsp
- salt1 to taste
- black pepper1 to taste
Instructions
Finely dice the onion and green bell pepper, and mince the garlic.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef for 7-8 minutes, breaking up the clumps with a spatula, until no pink remains; drain off excess fat if needed.
Add the onion, pepper, and garlic to the beef and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring, until the vegetables have softened.
Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
Split the buns in half and toast them cut-side down in a dry skillet or under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Spoon the hot meat filling onto the bottom halves of the buns, cover with the tops, and serve immediately while the sauce is hot.
