For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of smoked paprika to the mixture. Toasting the hamburger buns lightly before serving adds a delightful textural contrast. Feel free to customize the sweetness level by adjusting the amount of brown sugar to your liking. Consider adding some heat with a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce. These Sloppy Joes can be made ahead of time and reheated gently on the stovetop or in a slow cooker. This is great for meal prepping!
