Recipe Steps

Step 1

Begin by browning the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Break it into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon, ensuring an even cook. Drain any excess fat for a leaner meal.

Step 2

Add diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Stir in Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and seasonings of your choice. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Storage Options

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can also freeze the meat mixture in a ziplock bag for up to three months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge and warm in a skillet over medium heat until hot throughout.

Variations & Substitutions

For a vegetarian version, substitute the beef with sautéed mushrooms or a plant-based meat alternative. To spice things up, add jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. Whole wheat buns can be used for a healthier option.
