Customizations & Variations:

• Make it spicier: Add extra buffalo sauce or sprinkle red pepper flakes for extra heat.

• Milder version: Use less buffalo sauce and more honey for a sweeter, less spicy dish.

• Swap the meat: You can swap the beef for turkey, chicken, or even a vegetarian meatball substitute for a lighter option.

• Add vegetables: Stir in sautéed onions, bell peppers, or spinach for added nutrition and flavor.
