Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 small, finely chopped Yellow onion
- 0.5 cup Beef broth
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 8 pieces (optional) Dill pickle slices
- 4 teaspoons (optional) Prepared yellow mustard
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet, heat the ground beef over medium heat. Cook, breaking it up into very small crumbles with a wooden spoon or spatula, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
Step 2
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the finely chopped onion to the skillet. Cook for another 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Step 3
Drain off any excess fat from the skillet if necessary, leaving about 1 tablespoon of grease for added flavor.
Step 4
Add the beef broth, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 5
Simmer the mixture over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the beef mixture is moist but not soupy.
Step 6
While the beef mixture is simmering, lightly toast the hamburger buns, if desired, for added texture.
Step 7
Spoon the loose meat mixture generously onto the bottom halves of the hamburger buns.
Step 8
Top with dill pickle slices and a drizzle of yellow mustard, if using. Place the top halves of the buns over the filling and serve immediately.
Step 9
Enjoy your delicious homemade Nuways (Maid Rites)!
