Equipment

• Large skillet
• Slotted spoon
• Colander to drain grease from meat
• Sheet pan

Ingredients

• 1 lb. lean ground beef, browned and drained
• 1/2 of medium sweet onion, diced
• 1/2 of a green bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 of a red bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup of ketchup
• 1 tsp. chili powder
• 1 ½ Tbsp. tomato paste
• ½ Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
• ¾ cup water
• 8 slices frozen garlic Texas toast
• 4 slices Colby jack cheese or your preferred flavor of sliced cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°.

Step 2

Add the ground beef, onion, and bell peppers to a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook until the meat is browned and drain the grease.

Step 3

Add the beef mixture back into the pan and stir in the garlic, ketchup, chili powder, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and water. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Bring to a low boil and simmer over medium to medium high heat until the sloppy joe mix thickens.

Step 5

While the sloppy joe mixture simmers, prepare the baking pan with the Texas toast. Spray the pan with non-stick spray. Lay out the Texas Toast in a single layer, side by side on the pan.

Step 6

Bake the bread for about 3-4 minutes, just until the bread thaws and begins to soften. Then remove the bread from the oven.

Step 7

Use the back of a spoon to make a large indention in the center of each piece of Texas Toast.

Step 8

Now spoon a big dollop of the hot Sloppy joe mixture onto each slice of Texas Toast. Cut each piece of cheese in half diagonally. Then top each open faced sandwich with a slice of Colby jack cheese.

Note

Substitute your favorite cheese for Colby jack if you like. Melted mozzarella is good on these Sloppy joes also.

Step 9

Place the pan back into the oven until the cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
