3 T Butter
1/2 cup diced onion
1 red pepper chopped
1 1/2 tsp garlic minced
1 pound ground beef
2 1/2 T brown sugar
2 T Dijon mustard
2 T worcestershire sauce
3/4 tsp liquid smoke
1 T chili powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
Melt butter in large dutch oven, add onion cook till translucent (5 min). Add peppers and garlic and stir occasionally for 1 minute. Add the ground beef and break it up with a wooden spoon, stirring it all together. Add brown sugar mustard worcestershire liquid smoke chili powder and paprika. Stir and then add the ketchup and vinegar. Allow to cook for 5 minutes and serve or allow to simmer for 1 hour. The longer it cooks the better the flavor.
*For less vinegar flavor, start with 1 to 2 T and add more as desired.
*For less smoke flavor only add 1 tsp
* We did not love the red pepper and can easily be left out and still have great flavor
