For a milder flavor, omit the serrano and fresh chile peppers or reduce the amount used. To add more depth of flavor, try using smoked paprika or a dash of liquid smoke. These Sloppy Joes are even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For meal prepping, cook a large batch of this recipe on the weekend and freeze it. When ready, thaw overnight in the fridge, and you have a quick and easy meal.
