Equipment

  • 1 large skillet
  • 1 Sheet pan
  • 1 Colander

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. lean ground beef can substitute ground turkey
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced
  • 1/2 medium green bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. tomato paste
  • 1/2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tbsp/ brown sugar either light or dark will work
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 8 slices frozen Garlic Texas Toast
  • 4 slices Colby jack cheese cut in half

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Bring to a low boil and simmer over medium to medium high heat until the sloppy joe mix thickens.
  • 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.
  • Bake the bread for about 3-4 minutes, just until the bread thaws and begins to soften. Then remove the bread from the oven.
  • Use the back of a spoon to make a large indention in the center of each piece of Texas Toast.
  • Now spoon a big dollop of the hot Sloppy joe mixture onto each slice of Texas Toast. Then top with a slice of Colby jack cheese.
  • Place the pan back into the oven until the cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes.
    Serve and enjoy!
