How to Make Barbecued Beef Sandwiches

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and 1 medium onion, chopped. Cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until the beef is no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of your favorite chili sauce, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded.
  5. Serve the BBQ beef on toasted hamburger buns. Top with your favorite toppings, such as coleslaw, pickles, or cheese.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
