In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and break it up with a spatula as it cooks.
After about 5 minutes of cooking, add the finely diced onion to the ground beef and continue cooking until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, brown sugar, white vinegar, kosher salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Simmer the mixture uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the beef is moist but not overly wet.
Toast the sandwich buns if desired, then spoon the beef mixture onto the bottom half of each bun.
Top with pickle slices if using, then add the top half of the bun to complete the sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Maid Rites Sloppy Joes!
