Texas Toast Sloppy
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Purpose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ground beef | Hearty base | Absorbs the sauce perfectly |
| Texas toast | Sturdy foundation | Thick slices hold the filling |
| Sloppy Joe sauce | Flavor punch | Sweet, tangy, and savory |
| Optional cheese | Extra indulgence | Melts into gooey perfection |
Instructions
1. Brown the Beef
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks until evenly browned. Drain excess fat if needed to keep the mixture rich without being greasy.
2. Stir in the Sauce
Add the Sloppy Joe sauce to the cooked beef. Reduce the heat and simmer until the mixture thickens and the flavors meld.
3. Toast the Bread
Prepare the Texas toast according to the package instructions. Toast until golden and slightly crispy on the edges.
4. Assemble the Sloppies
Place the toasted bread on a flat surface. Spoon a generous portion of the beef mixture onto each slice, letting it spill over slightly—messiness is part of the charm!
5. Add Cheese (Optional)
Top with a slice of cheese while the beef is still hot. Allow it to melt into a creamy layer for extra richness.
