Ingredients
6 servings
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add the onion and pepper. Cooking, stirring every few minutes, for 5 minutes. Add the sweet potato and cook until it softens and cooks down, about 3 minutes more.
- Add the beef, chili powder, salt, garlic powder, and mustard. Cook, breaking apart the beef, until it is browned and fully cooked through and the veggies have completely softened, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 full minute.
- In a large liquid measuring cup with a spout or a bowl, whisk together the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, and water.
- Pour the mixture over the beef. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, until it's thickened to your liking, about 5 minutes.
- To serve, spoon the mixture over the bottom buns. Add a slice of cheese (if desired) followed by the top bun. Enjoy immediately.
