For a richer flavor, use beef broth instead of water. To add some heat, include a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely diced jalapeño with the onion and bell pepper. Toast the hamburger buns for added texture and flavor. Serve with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, or french fries.
