- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 green bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup (240ml) ketchup
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 cup (120ml) water or beef broth
- 1 tbsp tomato paste

Instructions
- 1Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat, leaving 1 tbsp in pan.
- 2Add diced onion and green pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 3Stir in tomato paste, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Cook 1 minute to bloom spices.
- 4Add ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and water (or broth). Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan.
- 5Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and flavors meld, 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- 6While sauce simmers, toast buns cut-side down in a dry skillet or under broiler until golden.
- 7Spoon generous portions of meat mixture onto bottom buns. Top with bun tops and serve immediately.
