Combining tomato puree and ketchup gives these notoriously messy sandwiches the right balance of tang and sweetness.

Directions

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion, minced

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook until soft and starting to brown, about 5 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1⁄2 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced

Step 2

Stir in the garlic and chili powder and cook for 1 minute.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground Beef, 85% lean or better
  • 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
  • Salt
  • Ground Black Pepper

Step 3

Add the beef, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and cook, breaking the meat into small pieces, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Tomato Puree
  • 1⁄2 cup Ketchup
  • 1⁄4 cup Water

Step 4

Stir in the tomato puree, ketchup, and water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Ingredients

  • 4 Hamburger Buns

Step 5

Serve on hamburger buns, about 1/2 cup of meat mixture per bun.
