Step-by-Step Instructions for Texas Toast Sloppy Joes

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 pound of lean ground beef. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until nicely browned and no longer pink.
  • With the beef still in the skillet, add the finely diced white onion and green bell pepper. Stir occasionally for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  • Lower the heat slightly, and stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, honey barbecue sauce, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  • While the beef mixture simmers, preheat your oven according to the Texas Toast package instructions, usually around 425°F (220°C).
  • Take 8 slices of Texas Toast and lay them out on a baking sheet. Spoon the hearty beef mixture onto each slice.
  • Place the baking sheet with your assembled Texas Toast Sloppy Joes into the preheated oven. Bake for about 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.
  • Once out of the oven, garnish your Texas Toast Sloppy Joes with fresh parsley and serve hot.
