Ingredients

  • 4 slices of bacon chopped
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 Jalapeño chopped (seeds and ribs removed for less heat)
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce such as Frank’s Red Hot
  • 4 hamburger buns toasted
  • pickled jalapenos for topping (optional)
  • Crushed Fritos for topping (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
  2. In the same skillet, add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it up as it browns, until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the onion, jalapeño, garlic, chili powder, cumin and coriander. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, mix together the beef broth, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, cider vinegar, and hot sauce. Pour over the beef mixture. Bring to a boil and cook until you reach your desired thickness, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the reserved bacon.
  4. Serve the meat on top of toasted buns with pickled jalapeños and crushed Fritos.
