For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the sauce mixture. Feel free to experiment with different types of sausage, such as Italian sausage or chorizo, for a unique flavor profile. If you don't have molasses on hand, you can substitute it with maple syrup or honey.
