Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup onion finely chopped
1/4 cup green bell pepper finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water

Instructions

To a large skillet add oil and begin to heat over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until no pink remains in the beef. Remove cooked beef to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain skillet of all but a couple of teaspoons of oil.
Add onions and green pepper to the skillet. Saute over medium heat until veggies are soft, a couple of minutes. Add drained beef back to the skillet. Add the rest of the ingredients and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat and continue to simmer for 30 minutes. Scoop mixture out over hamburger buns and serve!

Notes

You can toast the buns in a skillet with a little butter.
I sometimes top them with medium cheddar. If you add cheese, just pop them under the broiler for a minute or two to melt it.
