½cupketchup
¼cuptomato paste
1tbspWorcestershire sauce
1tbspdijon mustard
1cupbeer
½cupbeef broth
2cupssharp cheddarcubed
6brioche buns
Preparation
In a large skillet, cook the bacon on medium high heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until crispy but still bendable.
Remove the bacon from the pan and drain all but two tablespoons of the fat.
Add the onions and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until softened.
Add in the beef, lower the heat to medium and cook well, breaking it apart but leaving some chunks about the size of a raspberry or small grape.
Cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until well browned, then add in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worchestershire sauce, dijon mustard, beer, and beef broth.
Stir well, continue cooking for about 5 to 6 minutes until the sauce starts to evaporate and the mixture becomes “sloppy”.
Add in the chunks of cheddar and cooked bacon crumbles a minute before serving and stir just slightly to melt them into little puddles.
Toast the buns then spoon over the mixture and top with additional bacon if desired.
