Sloppy Joes

I stole this from Jody...cook extraordinaire. I made it with ground beef because I'm not as health conscience as she is. Maybe next time I'll try to be and purchase ground turkey instead ;-). Thanks for a fast, easy meal, Jody! 
Adapted from The Food Nanny Rescues Dinner 

INGREDIENTS:

1 tablespoon butter
1 pound lean ground turkey or beef
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup to 1 cup water (depends on how runny you like it)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoon dehydrated onions (optional)

6 lightly buttered hamburger buns

DIRECTIONS:
Jody says: "In a skillet cook meat until done. Drain. Return meat to pan and add all the rest of the ingredients. Cook over med heat for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Add more water if too thick. Toast buns on electric skillet until nice and brown. Serve up this Manwich to all the hungry men in your house and watch them smile!"
