Ingredients

  • 3 lb. hamburger
  • 1/3 c. vinegar
  • 1/3 c. Worcestershire sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 c. ketchup
  • 1/2 c. brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 c. chopped onions
  • 1/2 c. Pace thick and chunky salsa
  • 1/3 c. prepared yellow mustard

  2. Stir remaining ingredients in a bowl and add to the meat mixture.
  3. Simmer until the sauce is thick.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, try using ground beef with a higher fat content. If you're out of Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce can be a great substitute. To save time, you can use pre-chopped onions or even onion powder. Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar or ketchup based on your taste preference.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these tasty barbecues on toasted hamburger buns for a classic approach. They pair wonderfully with sides like String Beans And Corn or a refreshing Nine Layered Salad. For a fun twist, try adding pickles or jalapeños to the sandwiches for extra zing.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally, or microwave until heated through. If the mixture is too thick after refrigeration, add a splash of water or broth while reheating.
