6. Add tomato sauce, broth, vinegar, Worcestershire, and brown sugar. Cook, stirring until well combined. 

7. Add the beef back to the pan and a dash of hot sauce if preferred.

3. Add the buns (tops and bottom for a total of 16) to the top of the meat mixture. 

4. Brush the buns with melted butter. 

5. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the rolls are slightly toasted and the cheese is melted.

   
   

Tips-n-Tricks

• Looking for a time-saving method for this recipe? Grab a premade packet of Sloppy Joe Seasoning and prepare the meat according to the instructions.  

• If you do not have dried mustard, you can use regular mustard, too. Just add a bit at a time, taste, and add more if needed. 

• Looking for a healthier version? Use ground turkey, olive oil instead of the meat's fat, and four buns sliced more thinly to reduce the amount of bread consumed in each serving.
