  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef and 1 medium onion, chopped, in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Break up the beef as it cooks.
  2. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste, 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional).
