Ingredients:

• 2 TBS oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped fine
• 1⁄2 tsp table salt
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 lb 85% lean ground beef
• 1⁄4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 1 cup tomato puree
• 1⁄2 cup ketchup
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 1⁄4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• 4 hamburger buns

Instructions:

1. DIRECTIONS Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion and salt and stir until coated with oil. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 10 minutes (if onion begins to burn after 5 minutes, reduce heat to low). Add garlic and chili powder and cook, uncovered, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add beef and cook, breaking up meat with wooden spoon, until just pink, about 3 minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon pepper, brown sugar, tomato puree, ketchup, water, and hot sauce. Simmer until Sloppy Joe sauce is slightly thicker than ketchup, 8 to 10 minutes. Adjust seasonings. Make Ahead: Double batch meat mixture and freeze for up to one month. To return the meat mixture to its original consistency, you may need to add a little water when it is reheated.
