- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
For Serving

Instructions
- Prepare the Meat: Begin by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat thoroughly to prevent greasiness in the final dish.

- Serve: Once cooked, spoon the hot meat mixture onto buns. Garnish with dill pickle chips and add extra mustard if desired. Serve immediately for a satisfying Midwestern sandwich experience.
