Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks.

Remove excess fat from the skillet, leaving a small amount for flavor.

Add chopped onions, garlic, and green bell pepper to the skillet; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in chopped mushrooms and cook until they release moisture, about 5 minutes.

Add tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, salt, and black pepper; mix well.

Simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Serve the beef and mushroom mixture on hamburger buns.

Garnish with additional mustard or pickles if desired.
