How to cook it · about 30 minutes
- Finely dice the onion and bell pepper and mince the garlic.
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 6 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles. Spoon off most of the fat.
- Add the onion and bell pepper and cook 5 minutes until soft. Stir in the garlic for 1 minute.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire, mustard, brown sugar, chili powder, salt and pepper.
- Simmer on low for 10 minutes, stirring now and then, until thick enough to pile on a bun without running off. Taste and adjust.
- Toast the buns cut-side down in a dry skillet or under the broiler for a minute, then spoon in the filling and serve.
