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.

Leftovers taste amazing! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
