Add ground beef and water to a large non-stick skillet, and cook on Medium-high heat. Use a fork, or spoon to break down the meat as it cooks.
Once meat is no longer pink, remove from heat and drain in a strainer or colander. Set aside.
Reduce to Medium heat and add the diced onion to the large skillet pan. Sauté until translucent.
Add the drained cooked meat back to the skillet with the onions.
With a wooden spoon, stir in the rest of the ingredients. The ketchup, tomato sauce, chili powder, and sugar.
Cook, stir until bubbly. About 5 minutes. Reduce to Low heat and simmer until ready to serve. Add some of the reserved broth (or a little water) back in to achieve desired consistency.
