Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 hamburger buns

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.

  3. Stir in the water, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
