Ingredients: 7 oz 93% lean ground beef, patted dry; 1/3 cup yellow onion, finely diced; 1.5 oz green bell pepper, finely diced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1/4 cup canned tomato sauce; 2 1/4 tsp tomato-paste; 2 tsp yellow mustard; 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce; 3/4 tsp brown sugar; 1 tsp apple cider vinegar; 1/4 tsp chili powder; 1/4 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp black pepper; 1/2 mini slider bun, split; 4 olive oil cooking sprays

Place a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. Add the ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the pan. Done when beef is browned, 160°F.
Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables soften and the onion turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 6 to 8 minutes. It is ready when a spoon dragged across the pan leaves a clear trail and the sauce clings to the meat. Meanwhile, toast the split slider bun in a small skillet over medium heat until golden. Done when sauce is thick and clings to meat.
Place the bottom half of the toasted bun on a plate. Spoon the beef mixture onto the bun, piling it high, and cap it with the top half. Spoon any extra filling alongside the slider to eat with a fork.
