Submitted by ajsorren on

 

Ingredients

 

  • vegetable oil cooking spray
  • 1 pound extra-lean ground beef
  • 1 small green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • ¾ cup catsup
  • 2 tablespoons prepared mustard
  • 6 whole-grain or mixed-grain sandwich buns
  • 1 sweet onion, thinly or thickly sliced, optional

Directions

  1. Spray a medium skillet with the cooking spray
  2. Combine the ground beef, diced peppers, and onion in the skillet. Cook on medium heat until the beef is thoroughly cooked, 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. Mix the vinegar, catsup, and mustard together and add to the beef mixture; simmer 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. Scoop one portion onto each sandwich bun. Top with a slice of sweet onion.

Cooking Tip

 

Beef is a good source of iron, and the vitamin C in peppers (and tomato products) enhances absorption of iron.
