Method
Dice the onion and green pepper and crush the garlic.
Brown the beef mince in a large frying pan over high heat for 6 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks.
Add the onion, green pepper and garlic and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the tomato paste, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and beef stock.
Simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and a meat thermometer confirms the mince reads at least 71°C.
Pile the mixture into the split buns to serve.
