For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the slow cooker. If you like a spicier Sloppy Joe, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce. For a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This recipe is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld together.
