Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 1 small green bell pepper, finely diced
• 0.75 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon mustard (yellow or Dijon)
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside on a plate.

Step 3

Using the same skillet, add the diced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper, along with the water.

Step 6

Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Stir until everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and clings to the beef.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add additional salt or pepper to taste.

Step 9

Serve hot on hamburger buns, or use as a topping for baked potatoes, rice, or pasta. Enjoy!
