Texas Toast Sloppy Joes are a hearty and delicious twist on the classic sloppy joe sandwich. Instead of using traditional hamburger buns, this recipe calls for thick slices of Texas toast, which are toasted to golden perfection and provide a sturdy base for the saucy meat mixture.
To make Texas Toast Sloppy Joes, start by browning ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Once the beef is cooked through, drain any excess fat and add chopped onions, bell peppers, and garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
Next, stir in a can of tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and a blend of spices such as chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder. Simmer the mixture for about 10-15 minutes, or until the flavors have melded together and the sauce has thickened slightly.
While the meat mixture is simmering, prepare the Texas toast according to the package instructions. Once the toast is ready, spoon a generous portion of the sloppy joe mixture onto each slice. Serve the sandwiches hot, garnished with shredded cheese, if desired.
These Texas Toast Sloppy Joes are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. They’re perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, and the combination of savory meat, tangy sauce, and buttery toast is simply irresistible.
Need an easy weeknight dinner? It’s quick and the whole family will love it! If you double the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, meat and wine, you’ll have enough sauce to freeze.
