Ingredients
- 2 tbsp salted butter, plus more for the rolls
- 2 1/2 lbs. ground beef
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large green bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 large onion, diced
- 1 1/2 cups ketchup
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tsp chili powder, plus more to taste
- 1 tsp mustard powder
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, plus more to taste
- Worcestershire, to taste
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- Hot sauce, to taste
- 6 to 8 kaiser rolls, split
- Kettle-cooked potato chips, for serving
Directions
-
Melt the butter in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up the meat, until browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Pour off most of the fat, saving just 1 to 2 tbsp in the skillet.
-
Add the garlic, bell pepper and onion to the skillet and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
-
Add the ketchup, brown sugar, tomato paste, chili powder, mustard powder, red pepper flakes, and 1 cup water. Stir to combine and simmer for 15 minutes, adding Worcestershire, salt and pepper to taste. Add hot sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
-
Spread the rolls with butter and brown in a separate skillet over medium heat, 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon the meat mixture on the rolls. Serve with potato chips.
