How to Make Barbecue Beefy Buns

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper. Brown the beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce, 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
  3. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded.
  4. Serve the barbecue beef mixture on toasted hamburger buns. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, coleslaw, or extra barbecue sauce.
