ANSWER:
You're on the right track, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce or even a teaspoon or more of white vinegar can help to balance out the sweetness from too much brown sugar. Another option would be to add a can or two of "like" beans to the pot. (Drain and rinse beans in a colander before adding, though.)
