Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 8 pieces Pickle slices
- 4 teaspoons Yellow mustard
Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely dice the yellow onion.
Step 2
In a large skillet, add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook over medium heat, breaking apart the ground beef with a spatula or wooden spoon until the beef is browned and the onions are soft, about 7–8 minutes.
Step 3
Drain any excess grease from the skillet, but leave a small amount for flavor.
Step 4
Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Most of the liquid should cook off, leaving the meat juicy but not soupy.
Step 6
Toast the hamburger buns lightly, if desired.
Step 7
Spoon the seasoned loose meat onto the bottom halves of the buns.
Step 8
Top each sandwich with 2 pickle slices and spread 1 teaspoon of yellow mustard on the top bun of each sandwich.
Step 9
Place the top buns on the meat and serve the sandwiches warm. Enjoy your homemade Char S Taverns!
