Directions:
Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and chili powder and cook for 1 minute. Add the beef, brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, breaking the meat into small pieces, until the meat is no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato puree, ketchup, and water. Cook until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with Tabasco, salt and pepper to taste. Spoon 1/2 cup of the meat mixture into each hamburger bun.
