Ingredients
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 small red pepper, seeded and diced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck
One 15-ounce can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
4 teaspoons red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 hamburger buns, toasted
Shredded Cheddar and/or pickle chips, for serving
Directions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the peppers, garlic and marjoram and continue to cook until the peppers are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the meat, increase the heat to medium-high and cook, breaking the meat up, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
- Spoon off any excess fat from the pan and discard. Add the tomato sauce, sugar, Worcestershire, mustard, vinegar and 1/2 cup of water and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook until the flavors have blended and the sauce has thickened slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. (If the mixture appears to be too dry add up to 1/4 cup additional water.) Season with the salt and pepper.
- Serve the beef mixture on toasted hamburger buns topped with shredded Cheddar and pickle chips.
