Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups barbecue sauce
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 hamburger buns
• 3 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned. Drain any excess grease.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium and stir in the barbecue sauce, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Simmer the mixture for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 5

Meanwhile, preheat a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spread the butter evenly across the cut sides of the hamburger buns and toast them in the skillet for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 6

Spoon the BBQ mixture onto the toasted buns, ensuring even portions across each bun.

Step 7

Serve immediately, optionally pairing with coleslaw, chips, or a favorite side dish.
