The Essential Ingredients
- Ground Beef: Also called ‘hamburger,’ it’s made by grinding beef cuts and beef trim. It works well in dishes that require crumbles, and typically any leanness of Ground Beef works well in dishes – just be sure to drain any remaining fat after cooking.
- Bell Peppers: Named after the ‘bell’ shape they resemble, you may also see these called sweet peppers. They come in a variety of colors and lend a mild flavor and crisp texture to dishes.
- Worcestershire Sauce: This bold and tangy sauce (and condiment) is a blend of vinegar, anchovies, molasses and spices. It’s packed with umami flavor and used to flavor many dishes.
- Brown Sugar: A soft moist sweetener made by combining white sugar and molasses. It is commonly used in baking, sauces and marinades to add a rich, deep flavor.
- Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns: Hearty buns made with whole wheat flour offering a slightly nutty flavor. Designed to perfectly hold a hamburger patties and toppings.
