Ingredients

4-1/2 pounds ground beef

1-1/2 cups chopped onions

2-1/4 cups ketchup

3 tablespoons prepared mustard

3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons vinegar

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon salt

1 tablespoon pepper

18 hamburger buns, split

Sliced pickles, optional

Instructions

1 Cook the beef and onions

2 In a Dutch oven, cook the beef and onions until the meat is no longer pink and the onion is tender. Drain any liquid and grease. Editor's Tip: If you prefer to remove as much grease as possible, brown the beef and saute the onions separately. After cooking the meat, transfer it to a paper-towel-lined plate to absorb any excess fat, then return it to the Dutch oven after sauteing the onions.

3 Stir in the sauce

4 Stir in the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Heat the filling through.

5 Build the sandwiches

6 Serve the barbecue ground beef on buns and if desired, top the sandwiches with sliced pickles or other garnishes. Editor's Tip: For choose-your-own-adventure barbecue sandwiches, serve all the garnishes on the side so everyone can pick their favorite topping.
