How to Make Franks But No Franks

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Fill each hamburger bun with the meat mixture.
Wrap each filled bun individually in aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
