Ingredients in the Easy BBQ Sandwiches…
Lean ground beef makes this recipe a healthy one! Onion, ketchup, and water are the only other ingredients you’ll need to make the Easy BBQ Sandwiches. Oh, and salt & pepper to taste!!
Oh, and of course buns or bread to serve the BBQ on!!
That’s it! I’ll bet you have everything in your pantry or freezer to make these sandwiches right now!
Making the Easy BBQ Sandwiches…
Place the ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat. Use a spatula to break apart the meat so it covers the bottom of the skillet.
As the beef is browning, chop up the onion and add it to the meat.
Stir and mix the beef and onion until the beef is nicely browned.
Turn the heat down to medium-low and add in the salt & pepper and the ketchup. I know you might think you need more ingredients to make BBQ but this recipe is so simple all you need it ketchup! Trust me, these Easy BBQ Sandwiches are too easy and good to be true!
Add the water to the BBQ mixture and stir it all together!
I like to save my almost empty ketchup bottle and utilize the ketchup in the bottom of the bottle to make BBQ. I squeeze out the ketchup into the measuring cup and add more fresh ketchup if needed. Then I add the cup of water to the bottle and shake it up to get the remaining ketchup out!
The BBQ will seem soupy at first. Stirring frequently, allow it to cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes until the liquid is cooked down and all you have left is creamy dreamy BBQ.
Place a large spoonful of BBQ onto the bun or bread to make up the sandwich.
These Easy BBQ Sandwiches are great to serve with a side of Crazy Beans and Homemade Potato Salad. Or just keep it simple and serve them up with some pickles, potato chips, and Garlic and Onion Dip.
Easy peasy, right?
Enjoy!
