Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then shape the mixture into 6 even patties.
2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the hamburger patties and cook them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and drain off any excess grease.
3
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and green pepper. Sauté them over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until they have softened and the onion is translucent.
4
Stir in the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and dry mustard into the skillet with the vegetables. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
5
Once boiling, gently add the browned beef patties back into the skillet, making sure they are submerged in the gravy. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
6
After 15 minutes, uncover the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Serve hot and enjoy!
