- 1 lb ground beef I use 90/10
- 1 small onion diced (can use white or yellow)
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- sliced pickles
- 4 white buns
- additional mustard and ketchup for topping
Heat skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and onion, breaking up the beef into small pieces as it cooks. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is softened.
Add the broth, Worcestershire, mustard, and sugar, and stir to combine.
Cook another 3-5 minutes, until the broth has mostly evaporated.
Serve on buns topped with pickle slices, ketchup, and mustard.
- These are best with 90/10 ground beef or higher fat content. Don't use anything leaner than 90/10 or you won't get the same results.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
