How to Make Texas Toast Sloppy Joes
Step 1: Prepare the Sloppy Joe Filling
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Step 2: Toast the Texas Toast
While the filling simmers, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the Texas toast on a baking sheet and bake according to the package instructions, or until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3: Assemble the Sloppy Joes
Once the Texas toast is ready, remove it from the oven. Spoon a generous amount of the Sloppy Joe filling onto each slice of toast. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the filling.
