For a richer flavor, try using a combination of ground beef and ground pork. If you don't have beef stock, chicken stock can be substituted. Adjust the amount of brown sugar and lemon juice to your preference for a sweeter or tangier sauce. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Leftovers taste amazing! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Oct 17, 2024The coffee granules might seem like a strange ingredient, but they really add a depth of flavor to the sauce. Don't skip it!
