Texas toast sloppy joes are a delicious and hearty sandwich that combines the rich flavors of sloppy joe filling with the indulgent goodness of thick Texas toast. Here’s a recipe for making the best Texas toast sloppy joes:

Ingredients:

For the Sloppy Joe Filling:

• 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey for a leaner option)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Texas Toast:

• 8 slices of Texas toast (thick-cut bread)
• Butter for toasting

Instructions:

Prepare the Sloppy Joe Filling:

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef (or turkey) until it’s browned and cooked through, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
2. Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked meat. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
3. Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
4. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken.

Prepare the Texas Toast:

5. While the sloppy joe filling is simmering, toast the Texas toast according to the instructions on the package. Usually, this involves spreading butter on each side of the bread slices and toasting them in a hot oven or on a griddle until they are golden brown and crispy.

Assemble the Texas Toast Sloppy Joes:

6. Once the Texas toast is toasted and the sloppy joe filling is ready, place a generous scoop of the filling onto one slice of Texas toast.
7. Top with another slice of Texas toast to create a sandwich.
8. Repeat with the remaining slices of Texas toast and filling.

Serve and Enjoy:

9. Serve your Texas toast sloppy joes hot, and consider adding a slice of cheese or some pickles for extra flavor if desired.
10. Enjoy this hearty and satisfying sandwich!

These Texas toast sloppy joes are a tasty twist on the classic sloppy joe sandwich. The thick, buttery toast adds a delicious crunch and complements the savory filling perfectly.
