Directions

Step 1

Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the mixture is thick and flavorful.

Step 7

Toast or warm the hamburger buns if desired.

Step 8

Spoon the finished beef mixture onto the bottom halves of the hamburger buns.

Step 9

Top with dill pickle slices and a drizzle of yellow mustard if desired.
