Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 onions, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rings

1/4 cup ketchup, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon white sugar
1/8 teaspoon chili powder

1 Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onions and green bell pepper until onions are slightly browned and soft, 8 to 12 minutes.

Pour in water, bring mixture to a boil, and simmer uncovered until onions are tender, about 10 more minutes.
