Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean Ground Beef
- ¼ cup yellow onion chopped
- ¾ cup ketchup

Instructions
- In a skillet of over medium heat, brown your ground beef with the chopped onions breaking apart the beef into little pieces with a spatula as the beef is cooking through. Add a sprinkling of salt and pepper to taste. Once there is no longer any pink beef remaining, drain off the grease and return the beef and onions back to the skillet.
- Then add in the ketchup and brown sugar and mix well. Reheat the mixture to a slight boil stirring occasionally and simmer for 3-5 minutes. You can add more or less brown sugar depending on how sweet you want your sloppy joes. We add just enough brown sugar to overpower the ketchup taste. This is right around 3 or 4 tablespoons.
