BBQ Beef Sandwiches (and a time saver tip, too)

Here is a time saver I have been doing for years now. When you buy hamburger, you can get the larger 5 lb packages cheaper than buying 5 one pound packages. (Plus I look for it when it's on sale) I will brown 5-10 lbs at a time, with chopped onion in it. I drain it well, and then divide it into 1 lbs portions in ziploc bags and freeze! Next time I want to make a dish that calls for browned hamburger, I am one step ahead of the game!!! I barely thaw in the microwave and then toss it in the skillet and warm it up and continue with my recipe. (Or for tacos......I simply heat it the already cooked hamburger in the microwave with a tablespoon or two of water and a packet of taco seasoning mix and BOOM............instant tacos. Add water and stir. LOL

Now, the recipe.....................super easy................super yummy!!!

I got this recipe..............somewhere. LOL I can't remember honestly. But it has become one of those quick toss together meals for the hubs and I for a few years now. And if you have the hamburger cooked already???? It only takes a few minutes. I NEVER let it simmer the whole 45 minutes it says in the recipe. I am too impatient, and who has 45 minutes to stand there and stir a pan of BBQ beef while it simmers??? Not me!
