Texas Toast Sloppy
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Purpose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ground beef | Savory base | Soaks up the sauce perfectly |
| Texas toast | Foundation | Thick slices support the filling |
| Sloppy Joe sauce | Flavor | Sweet, tangy, and savory |
| Optional cheese | Extra richness | Melts into gooey perfection |
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cook the Beef
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks until evenly browned. Drain excess grease if needed to keep the filling rich without being oily.
2. Add the Sauce
Stir in the Sloppy Joe sauce once the beef is fully cooked. Reduce heat and simmer until the mixture thickens and comes together.
3. Toast the Bread
Prepare the Texas toast according to package directions. Toast until golden and crisp around the edges.
4. Build the Sloppies
Lay the toasted slices on a flat surface. Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto each slice, letting it spill over slightly—messy is part of the appeal.
5. Optional Cheese Upgrade
Top with a slice of cheese while the beef is hot and let it melt into a creamy, irresistible layer.
