Beef barbeque is a great meal to make in a large quantity at one time. After being cooked then cooled, the mixture freezes well for later. It is a great meal for a busy evening. My picky eater likes this dinner very much. A fairly simple recipe, most of the ingredients might already be in your pantry. The main ingredients include ground meat (we like to use beef); brown sugar; onions; peppers; ketchup and mustard.

Mixing Beef Barbeque Ingredients Together

After fully browning and chopping the burger, add the finely chopped peppers and onions. Then, add the premeasured amounts of ketchup, mustard and brown sugar. Mix, or stir, well so all of the ingredients are evenly dispersed.

We chop the peppers and onions very fine. In order to obtain the right thickness, we use a Tupperware Chopper, the one with the hand crank. For my picky eater this makes a world of difference. With the onion and pepper finely chopped, it is more edible for him. I don’t know if it evens out the taste, gives the mix a different texture or what. He prefers it this way.  

This beef barbeque can be altered to suit your own tastes. We use sweet bell peppers. A substitution could be a hotter pepper, like jalapeno or habanera. We taste the mixture several times before being satisfied with the end result. Sometimes we add a little more ketchup and other times we need to add a little of everything. 

We like to complete this meal with corn on the cob and potato chips. Usually we add a slice or two of American cheese on top of the beef mixture, after an amount is on the bun. My other two sons (not my picky eater) even like to just have the beef mixture by itself sometimes. They omit the bun and sometimes even the cheese.
