How to make it

1. Brown the beef.. Cook the ground beef in the large skillet over medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes, breaking it up with your spoon, until no pink is left. Drain off the grease.
2. Cook the veggies.. Add the onion and bell pepper to the beef and cook about 5 minutes until they soften up. Stir in the garlic and cook 1 more minute.
3. Make it saucy.. Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, water, salt and pepper. Mix it all together really well.
4. Simmer it down.. Turn the heat to low, put the lid on and let it simmer 10 minutes. Take the lid off for the last few minutes so the sauce gets nice and thick — it should cling to the meat, not run off.
5. Toast the buns.. While the sauce simmers, split the buns and toast them cut-side up on the baking sheet under the broiler for 1–2 minutes, until golden. Watch them close, they burn fast.
6. Pile it high.. Spoon a big heap of the beef mixture onto each bottom bun, cap it with the top bun, and serve hot with a stack of napkins.
