I recipe emails a few times a week with recipes that are easy on the wallet. Some we try and this one we are glad we did. It is delicious!
You and play around with the seasonings, we added more garlic power and a tad less brown sugar as well as the mustard.

Directions
Instructions Checklist
- Step 1Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir lean ground beef in the hot skillet until some of the fat starts to render, 3 to 4 minutes. Add onion and bell pepper; continue to cook until vegetables have softened and beef is cooked through, 3 to 5 more minutes.
- Step 2Stir in ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and garlic powder; season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Step 3Divide meat mixture evenly among hamburger buns.
*****I drain the fat, wipe down the pan and add about a 1/3 of a pat of butter to cook the onions and bell peppers along with a pinch or two of coarse kosher salt.****
