Make hearty, cheesy Sloppy Joes served on thick, buttery Texas Toast for a satisfying comfort meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 slices Texas Toast (thick cut bread)
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  5. While the meat mixture simmers, prepare the Texas Toast. Spread the softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
  6. Place the bread, butter-side down, in a clean skillet or on a griddle over medium heat. Toast until golden brown and crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Remove the toast from the heat. Place one slice of cheese on four of the toast slices. Spoon the sloppy joe mixture evenly over the cheese.
  8. Top each serving with the remaining four slices of toast, forming a sandwich.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder with the other seasonings.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or ground pork for the ground beef.
  • If you prefer a less sweet sauce, reduce the brown sugar to 2 tablespoons.
