Here’s a hearty, cheesy, and kid-friendly recipe for Texas Toast Sloppy Joes — a fun twist on the classic!
π Texas Toast Sloppy Joes
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp tomato paste (optional for richer flavor)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp brown sugar (optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 box frozen Texas Toast (usually comes in 8 slices, garlic or cheese flavor)
- 1 to 1.5 cups shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
-
Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and bell pepper until beef is browned and veggies are soft. Drain excess fat.
-
Add Sauce: Stir in ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and brown sugar. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened. Season with salt & pepper.
-
Prepare Texas Toast: While meat mixture simmers, bake Texas Toast according to package instructions — usually 5–6 minutes per side at 425°F (220°C). You want it just toasted but not too crispy yet.
-
Assemble: Spoon sloppy joe mixture generously on top of each toast slice. Sprinkle shredded cheese over each.
-
Broil to Melt Cheese: Return to oven and broil for 1–2 minutes, just until cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely!
-
Serve Hot: Garnish with parsley or chopped green onions if you like, and enjoy with a side salad, fries, or pickles.
π Variations:
- Use BBQ sauce instead of ketchup for a smoky twist.
- Swap beef for ground chicken or plant-based crumbles.
- Add jalapeΓ±os for a spicy kick.
