Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 0.75 cup Beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 pieces Hamburger buns
• 6 pieces Pickle slices (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 4–5 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until mostly browned.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and continue cooking for another 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened and the beef is fully cooked.

Step 3

Drain any excess fat from the skillet carefully and return the skillet to medium heat.

Step 4

Pour the beef broth into the skillet and stir to deglaze the bottom of the pan, scraping up any browned bits of beef for extra flavor.

Step 5

Stir in brown sugar, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has mostly evaporated but the meat is still moist and flavorful.

Step 7

Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed with additional salt, pepper, or a splash of vinegar for tanginess.

Step 8

Toast the hamburger buns lightly, if desired, for extra texture.

Step 9

Spoon the Maidrites mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. Add pickle slices on top, if using, and cover with the top bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
