Toast Sloppy Joes

Texas Toast Sloppy Joes

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

½ cup onion, finely chopped

½ cup green bell pepper, finely chopped (optional)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup ketchup

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp mustard

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

1 package frozen Texas toast garlic bread

1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Follow the Texas toast package instructions and preheat your oven accordingly.

2. Cook the Meat: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease.

3. Sauté Aromatics: Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

4. Make the Sloppy Joe Sauce: Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.

5. Bake the Toast: While the sauce simmers, bake the Texas toast in the oven for about 5 minutes (so it’s lightly crispy but not fully done).

6. Assemble & Bake: Spoon sloppy joe mixture onto each piece of toast, then top with shredded cheese.

7. Melt the Cheese: Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. Serve & Enjoy!
