Sloppy Joes 4

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, minced
  • 1 medium clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 3/4 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 cup tomato puree
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Dash hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco (optional)
  • 4 hamburger buns

Directions

Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add the onion and saué, stirring often, until softened and browned around the edges, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and chili powder. Sauté until aromatic about 30 seconds. Add the beef, salt, ground black pepper, and brown sugar. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook, using a wooden spoon to help break the meat into small pieces, until the meat is no longer pink, about 3 minutes.

Add the tomato puree, ketchup, water, and Tabasco (if using). Cook until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon 1/2 cup of the meat mixture into each hamburger bun and serve immediately
