Ingredients

  • 1. A dollop of vegetable oil for a touch of richness
  • 2. Finely diced small onion to infuse flavor
  • 3. A generous sprinkle of chopped green pepper for a pop of color
  • 4. A heap of lean ground beef for a hearty base
  • 5. A blend of 1 ½ cups of Heinz Tomato Ketchup for tangy sweetness
  • 6. A spoonful of Heinz Worcestershire Sauce for depth of flavor
  • 7. A dash of brown sugar for a hint of caramelized sweetness

Step 1

Begin by heating a generous amount of oil in a spacious frying pan placed over medium-high heat. Toss in the onions and vibrant green peppers, letting them sizzle and soften for approximately 5 minutes. Next, introduce the beef into the pan, ensuring to continuously stir until it transforms into a beautiful brown hue, which typically takes between 5 to 10 minutes. Remember to rid the dish of any excess fat at this stage.

Step 2

To elevate the flavors, incorporate a medley of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, a hint of sugar, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Allow these ingredients to meld together over a gentle medium-low heat, occasionally giving them a loving stir for around 10 minutes or until the mixture achieves a delightful, slightly thickened consistency.

Step 3

When ready, generously scoop this savory concoction onto soft sandwich buns, creating a delightful meal that is sure to please.
