Description
Texas Toast Sloppy Joes are a delicious twist on the classic sloppy joe, served on crispy Texas toast and topped with melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (8 slices) frozen Texas toast (garlic or buttery style)
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
- ⅓ cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp mustard
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar or Colby Jack cheese
Instructions
- Bake Texas toast according to package directions (usually 5–6 minutes at 425°F) until lightly toasted on one side.
- In a skillet, cook ground beef and onion over medium-high heat until browned. Drain excess grease.
- Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer 5–7 minutes until thickened.
- Flip the Texas toast over (so the crisp side is down). Spoon a generous amount of sloppy joe mixture on top of each slice. Sprinkle with cheese.
- Return to oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Optional toppings include crumbled bacon, diced pickles, or a drizzle of ranch or BBQ sauce.
