Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground meat
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup diced red bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2- 8 ounces cans tomato sauce
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- ½ cup barbecue sauce I have used my own recipe, and I have also used some Stubbs brand, neither of which contain high fructose corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Tabasco or your favourite hot sauce – this seems like a lot, but it isn’t too hot at all
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes optional
- Hamburger buns
Instructions
- In a large skillet, over medium heat, add the ground meat.
- Using a spatula, break the ground meat up.
- Add the onion, red bell pepper and garlic.
- Cover and allow the meat to brown and the onions, peppers and garlic to soften, about 8 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink.
- Drain off any excess fat, either by using the lid as a strainer, or by dumping the meat mixture into a colander and returning the mixture to the pan.
- Once the fat has been drained off, add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire and Tabasco.
- Stir to combine.
- Add salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- Simmer to thicken, about 10 minutes.
- Serve hot on hamburger buns.
