Instructions

Brown your ground meat in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Remove from pan and set aside.
In the same frying pan you cooked the meat, add the diced onion and bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 min. Add black pepper, ground mustard and minced garlic, and sauté an additional 3-4 min.
Return cooked ground meat to the pan along with tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar. Stir together, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 min.
Serve on homemade buns or, if you don't have the bandwidth, I will sometimes scoop it up with unsalted tortilla chips or have it over white rice.
