How To Make The Best Texas Toast Sloppy Joe Recipe Ever
Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, diced onion, and diced bell pepper. Cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until the meat is browned and the vegetables are tender, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add Seasoning & Sauce: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the ketchup, tomato paste, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
Prepare the Texas Toast: While the beef mixture simmers, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the slices of Texas toast on a baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter and garlic powder. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on both sides of each slice of toast.
Toast the Bread: Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast the bread for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Spoon the sloppy joe mixture generously onto each slice of Texas toast. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Cheddar cheese on top of the meat.
Melt the Cheese: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy!
