  • 1 cup beef broth Chicken broth or water can be substituted.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mustard

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is translucent—about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Drain excess fat to keep the dish from being too greasy.
  3. Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure everything is incorporated.
  4. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing those delicious flavors to meld together.
  5. Serve the loose meat mixture on hamburger buns. Feel free to add toppings like cheddar cheese, chopped onions, or barbecue sauce.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients. Consider customizing with optional ingredients like cheese or pickles. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
