Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until it starts to soften.

Add minced garlic and chili powder to the skillet, stirring well to combine.

Crumble the lean ground beef into the skillet and cook until it is no longer pink.

Step 4

Season with salt, black pepper, and brown sugar. Pour in the ketchup, tomato sauce, and water. Stir everything together.

Step 5

Simmer the mixture for 8 to 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Taste and adjust the seasoning according to your preferences. Add a little more hot pepper sauce for extra heat if desired.

Step 7

Using an ice cream scoop, portion a generous scoop of the flavorful meat mixture onto each hamburger bun or two scoops for slider buns.

Step 8

For an extra touch of indulgence, top the Sloppy Joe mixture with some shredded cheese of your choice.

Serve with a side of crispy fries or a fresh green salad and savor each bite of this homemade delight.
