Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small white onion minced
- 1 small red bell pepper minced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 6 oz can tomato paste
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- hamburger buns
Instructions
Prepare
- Gather a 4 quart or larger slow cooker. You'll also need a large skillet, a colander, and a small mixing bowl.
Cook beef
- Heat a large skillet over MED-HIGH heat. When hot, add a drizzle of oil (we normally use avocado oil), and then add beef. Cook, breaking apart into crumbles as it cooks, about 5-8 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to colander to drain.
Add to slow cooker
- Transfer cooked beef from the colander to the insert of a slow cooker. Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Stir well.
Make sauce
- In a small mixing bowl, add the tomato paste, ketchup, bbq sauce, brown sugar, worcestershire, dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Combine and cook
- Pour the sauce into the slow cooker on top of the beef mixture. Stir well, then cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours, or HIGH for 2-3 hours. ** I recommend stirring the mixture every hour or 2 if you're home, to prevent any burning. **
Serve
- Before serving, stir well, breaking up any clumps of beef. Serve hot over hamburger buns (toasted buns work perfectly!), or as desired.
Notes
- Stovetop Directions:
- I've estimated that this recipe will serve about 6, but feel free to divide it up into as many servings as you'd like.
- Any color bell pepper will work for this recipe.
- Yellow mustard can be substituted for the Dijon, and additional spices may be used.
- Add 1/2 cup of water, beef broth, or beer to the ingredient list.
- Cook beef as directed, and after draining, add another drizzle of oil and saute the onion and pepper in the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and cook about 30 seconds.
- Reduce heat to MED/MED-LOW, and add the beef back to the skillet. Stir in the tomato paste, stirring well to coat.
- Add in the ketchup, bbq sauce, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and the 1/2 cup water. Stir well to combine.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring often, until mixture has thickened to your liking.
- Serve as directed.
