Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef, browned and drained
  • 1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

For Serving

  • Buns, as needed
  • Dill pickle chips, as needed

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat to avoid a greasy texture.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the browned beef, finely chopped yellow onion, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper to the slow cooker. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Slow Cook: Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 6 hours. Be sure to stir the mixture halfway through cooking to ensure even flavor distribution and prevent sticking.
  4. Prepare the Buns: Near the end of cooking, toast buns if desired to add a slight crunch and warmth to the sandwiches.
  5. Serve: Spoon the hot meat mixture onto buns, and top with dill pickle chips and additional mustard if preferred. Serve immediately for best flavor.

Notes

  • For a leaner dish, use 90% lean ground beef to reduce fat content.
  • Adjust the salt and sugar levels according to taste preferences.
  • The slow cooker setting can be switched to high for approximately 3-4 hours if time is limited, but low slow cooking yields better flavor.
  • Serve with a side of coleslaw or fries for a complete meal.
