Add 1 pound of ground beef to a deep skillet and begin browning it.

Add 1/2 cup of chopped onion to the skillet with the ground beef.

Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.

Turn the heat to medium and chop the mixture with a strong utensil until browned and the onions are transparent.

Spoon off excess grease from the skillet as necessary.

Once browned, add 1 teaspoon of flour, 1 cup of water, 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce, and 3/4 cup of ketchup to the skillet.

Stir the mixture and bring it to a boil over medium heat.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

Prepare brioche buns by spreading a thin layer of mayonnaise on them.

Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter in an iron skillet and toast the brioche buns until browned.

Use a slotted spoon to serve the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom half of each bun, allowing excess liquid to drain off.

Top with the other half of the bun and serve with specialty Dorito chips.
