Ingredients

1 pound ground chuck
1 pound ground pork
½ yellow onion diced
2 beef bouillon cubes
½ cup hot water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon steak sauce
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Buns, American cheese slices, diced white onions, pickles, and mustard for topping

Instructions

To a large skillet set over medium high heat, add the chuck, pork, and onion. Brown the meats and sauté the onion.
1 pound ground chuck, 1 pound ground pork, ½ yellow onion
While the meat cooks, dissolve the beef bouillon cubes in the hot water.
2 beef bouillon cubes, ½ cup hot water
Drain all except 1-2 tablespoons rendered fat from the pan.
Add the bouillon and remaining ingredients to the browned meat.
1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon steak sauce, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1½ teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Simmer for 30 minutes. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a couple tablespoons of water.
Scoop the meat onto burger buns, add any toppings, and enjoy. (For cheesy burgers, cover about ⅛ of the meat mixture with one slice of cheese and let it melt before scooping and serving.)

Notes

Make Ahead: If making the filling ahead of time, let it cool full before storing.
Browned Meat: To avoid greasy sandwiches, drain most of the fat off of the browned meats before continuing with step 4.
Other Meats: For a healthier option, try making these sandwiches with ground chicken or turkey - they'll still be delicious!
