Steps

1
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat and brown the mince for 6–8 minutes, breaking it up finely, until no pink remains and it starts to crisp. Spoon off the excess fat.
2
Add the onion and green pepper and cook for 5 minutes until soft, then add the garlic for 1 minute.
3
Stir in the ketchup, tomato purée, water, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, sugar, vinegar and chilli powder, and season with salt and pepper.
4
Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring now and then, until thick enough to mound on a spoon but still loose and saucy.
5
Meanwhile, butter the cut sides of the buns and toast them cut side down in a dry pan for 1 minute.
6
Spoon the filling generously onto the bottom halves, put on the tops and serve with plenty of napkins.
