1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup catsup
1/4 cup water
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the onion powder and garlic powder about 5 minutes. Add the onion and sauté for 3 or 4 minutes until onion is softened and transparent.

Stir in the catsup and water. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.

Serve on fresh hamburger buns with plenty of dill pickles on the side.
