- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 cup beef broth (can substitute chicken broth)

Instructions
- Mince the 6 cloves of garlic and dice the onion. Also, dice the 2 bell peppers.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once heated, add the minced garlic and onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the diced peppers and continue to sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the 2 pounds of ground beef (or ground meat of choice) to the skillet along with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper. Sauté for 8-10 minutes or until fully cooked, breaking the meat apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning until combined.
- Add 1/3 cup of BBQ sauce, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar (or vinegar of choice) to the skillet. Stir until combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1 cup of beef broth, stirring until the cornstarch is completely dissolved to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the skillet and stir until combined.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
- To serve, set the oven to 'Broiler'. Place a generous portion of the filling onto each bun (gluten-free or regular). Arrange the sandwiches on a baking sheet.
