Equipment

  • Dutch Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Pounds Ground Beef
  • 1 White Onion Finely diced
  • 1 Cup Beef Broth
  • 2 Tablespoons Yellow Mustard plus extra for serving
  • 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon Sweet Paprika
  • 2 teaspoon Sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 8 Hamburger Buns
  • 8 Cheddar Cheese Slices optional
  • 16 Pickles

Instructions
 

  • Heat your Dutch oven over medium heat and add the ground beef and diced white onion. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, until the meat is just starting to brown. If desired, drain the fat, or you can leave it undrained.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, then cover the Dutch oven and cook for 30 minutes.
  • Stir the meat mixture and continue to simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes, or until most of the moisture has been absorbed or evaporated.
  • Spread both hamburger buns with mustard, and top the bottom bun with a couple pickles. Top with the warm loose meat hamburger and then top with cheese. Eat while warm.
