Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, diced (optional)
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup ketchup
2 tbsp tomato paste (optional, for richness)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tsp chili powder or smoked paprika (optional)
6 slices frozen Texas toast (garlic flavor)
1–1½ cups shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Cook the Toast
Preheat your oven according to the Texas toast package instructions (usually 425°F / 220°C). Bake the toast for 4–5 minutes, just until it starts to crisp. You’ll bake it again with the topping later, so don’t overdo it now.
Make the Sloppy Joe Mixture
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with onions and bell pepper until the meat is fully cooked and vegetables are soft. Drain excess grease if needed.
Add Flavor
Stir in garlic, ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and spices. Let the mixture simmer for 5–7 minutes, until thick and saucy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
