Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb. ground beef 85% lean
- ½ yellow onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 8 oz. can tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce optional*
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
For Serving
- 4 hamburger buns toasted
Instructions
- Add the oil to a large nonstick skillet over high heat.
- Add the beef but don’t break it apart yet. Allow a dark brown crust to develop on the bottom of the meat, about 4 minutes. This gives it a hamburger-like texture.
- Flip the beef and allow a crust to develop on the reverse side.
- Once browned, reduce heat to medium-high.
- Add the onions and break the beef apart. Allow the beef to finish cooking through. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add all remaining ingredients and stir until heated through and thickened slightly. Don't let the sauce reduce too much, especially if you're going to reheat leftovers.
- Serving suggestion: Spread butter over the top and bottom of your burger buns and toast them on a griddle or large skillet prior to serving. This adds nice flavor/texture and prevents the buns from becoming soggy.
- Serve on buns and top with cheese if desired. Serve with potato wedges!
Notes
- Crock Pot Method
- Pro Tips:
- Nutritional information is per serving and includes the hamburger bun.
- Prepare the ground beef, onions, and garlic on the stove top as instructed. Drain any excess grease as needed.
- PRO TIP: I like to use this slow cooker as you can brown meat right on the stove top with it.
- Add the meat to the Crock Pot along with all remaining ingredients. (Minus the buns.)
- Cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally if possible. Serve on toasted hamburger buns.
- I use Texas Pete or Frank's Hot Sauce!
- Feel free to top each with a slice of American cheese, or work some Velveeta cheese into the meat mixture itself!
- This recipe is in The Cozy Cookbook on page 78!
- Optional Additions: Bell Peppers, Celery
