Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup water

  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 hamburger buns

Instructions

  • Reduce heat and simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens.

  • Add optional toppings like pickles, cheese slices, or coleslaw, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add a dash of hot sauce or more chili powder.
  • Ground turkey can be used as a leaner alternative to beef.
  • Serve with a side of fries or a simple salad.
