Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), chopped
  • 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard (such as Colman's®)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.75 teaspoon Greek seasoning (such as Cavender's®), or more to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon hamburger seasoning (such as McCormick® Grill Mates®), or more to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon smokehouse maple seasoning (such as McCormick® Grill Mates®), or more to taste
  • 0.25 teaspoon hickory smoked salt (such as McCormick®), or more to taste
  • 2 pinches ground nutmeg, or more to taste
  • 2 cups barbeque sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's®)
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 12 hamburger buns
Instructions:
  • In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Sauté garlic until fragrant, for about 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion, green pepper, and cilantro to the skillet; cook until the onion is softened, for about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef for 5 to 10 minutes, then drain any excess fat. Increase the heat to medium-high and add in brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, onion powder, Greek seasoning, hamburger seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, smokehouse maple seasoning, smoked salt, and nutmeg. Cook until it boils, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Combine the sautéed onions with the seasoned ground beef mixture and let it simmer on low heat.
  • Combine barbecue sauce, ketchup, and apple cider vinegar with the beef mixture. Stir well, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes until the sauce thickens. Serve the delicious mixture in hamburger buns.
