Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb of lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup of sweet peppers diced
- 1/2 cup of onion diced
- 1/2 cup of bbq sauce I used hickory
- 1 6 oz can of tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon of liquid smoke I use mesquite flavor
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- chopped bacon optional
Instructions
- Saute onion and diced pepper over medium heat until tender. Add ground beef and cook through until no longer pink. Place meat and the remainder of ingredients in a crock pot on low for 2 hours or so. You may need to add water to make sure it doesn’t stick. I think slow cooking this sauce a bit longer helps bring out the flavor. You can certainly do it on top of the stove.
