01
Step 1
Start by heating a little oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion and cook it until it’s soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Next, add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it’s nicely browned and crumbly, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any extra fat from the pan.

Step 2
Now, stir in the ketchup, mustard, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together well and let it simmer gently over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes so the flavors meld. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
