Tips:

  • Use a variety of seasonings. The sloppy joe sauce is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use a variety of seasonings, such as ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar.
  • Simmer the sauce. This will help to meld the flavors of the seasonings and create a thick, rich sauce.
