|---|
| 1 lb. ground beef (96% lean) |
| 1 medium yellow, green or red bell pepper, chopped |
| 3/4 c. finely chopped onion |
| 1 can (11-1/2 oz.) regular or reduced-sodium spicy 100% vegetable juice |
| 3 Tbsp. packed brown sugar |
| 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce |
| 4 whole- or honey-wheat hamburger buns or Kaiser rolls, split |
Directions:
1. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add ground beef, bell pepper and onion; cook 8-10 min., breaking beef up into 3/4-in. crumbles and stirring occasionally.
2. Stir in vegetable juice, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 7-9 min. or until most of the liquid has evaporated and thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.
3. Evenly place beef mixture on bottom half of each bun; close sandwiches.
* Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160ºF. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
