Tips for the Perfect Sloppy Annie:
- Serving Suggestions: While brioche buns are a fantastic choice for their buttery richness, feel free to use your favorite sturdy roll. Toast them lightly for extra texture!
- Spice It Up (or Down): The Be Wild Eats Habanero Barbeque Sauce adds a delightful subtle heat. If you prefer more fire, increase the amount slightly. For a milder version, you can reduce it or substitute with a less spicy BBQ sauce.
