Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
  • 1 cup red onions, chopped
  • 1 cup poblano peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 3 large cloves garlic, pressed
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic salt
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste (I always use mixed peppercorns)
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 3/4 cup your favorite BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp. chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp. prepared yellow mustard, or more to taste
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar, such as demerara
  • 1 tbsp. cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. chili powder
  • 4 large toasted hamburger buns see Recipe
  • 4 slices cheese *optional

Directions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, combine ground beef, onions and poblano peppers. Cook until the beef is almost done. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Transfer the meat mixture to a colander to drain; leave it for 5 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ketchup, BBQ sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, chili sauce, mustard, brown sugar, cider vinegar, and chili powder; whisk until well blended.
  • Transfer the beef mixture to the crock pot and pour over the BBQ sauce mixture. Stir very well, close the lid and set the timer on “Low” for 4 hours.
  • About 5 minutes before the end of cooking time, grill hamburger buns.
  • When the cooking time is up, stir again before spooning over the buns. Add a slice of cheese and enjoy!
