Trin for trin

1. 1

   Melt the butter in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.

   Ca. 1 min.

2. 2

   Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

   Ca. 4 min.

   Kokkens note: Stir occasionally to prevent the onion from browning too much.

3. 3

   Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes.

   Ca. 7 min.

   Kokkens note: Breaking the meat into very small crumbles is key to the texture of a tavern sandwich.

4. 4

   Carefully drain off any excess fat from the skillet.

   Ca. 1 min.

   Kokkens note: You can tilt the pan and spoon out the fat, or pour the contents through a colander over a bowl and return the meat to the pan.

5. 5

   Return the skillet to low heat and stir in the ketchup, chili powder, dry mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

   Ca. 1 min.

6. 6

   Cover and simmer for at least 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

   Ca. 10 min.

   Kokkens note: If the mixture looks dry, you can add a tablespoon of water.

7. 7

   While the meat simmers, toast the split hamburger buns until lightly golden.

   Ca. 2 min.

   Kokkens note: Toasting the buns helps prevent them from getting soggy.

8. 8

   Spoon the hot meat mixture onto the bottom buns, place the top buns on, and serve immediately.

   Ca. 1 min.

   Kokkens note: These are traditionally served plain, but pickles or extra mustard are common additions.
