Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)

  • 1 cup ketchup

  • ½ cup BBQ sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional, for sweetness)

  • 1 box frozen garlic Texas toast (8 slices)

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella, pepper jack, etc.)

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Optional: chopped onions, diced green peppers, jalapeños

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven
    Bake Texas Toast according to package instructions (usually around 400°F / 200°C for 5–6 minutes).

  • Cook the Meat
    In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.

  • Make the Sloppy Joe Mixture
    Add ketchup, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, tomatoes (if using), and brown sugar to the skillet. Stir well and simmer for 10–12 minutes until thickened.

  • Assemble the Toast
    Once the toast is crispy, spoon a generous amount of the meat mixture over each slice.

  • Add the Cheese
    Sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Optionally, place toasts under the broiler for 2–3 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

  • Serve Hot
    Garnish with fresh herbs or green onions if desired. Serve with fries, salad, or coleslaw.

Notes

  • Spice it up: Add jalapeños or hot sauce for heat, or stick to a sweet BBQ sauce for a milder version.

  • Cheese swaps: Try mozzarella, Colby Jack, or pepper jack for a different cheesy twist.

  • Kid-friendly tip: Make it a sandwich by folding two slices—less messy, more fun!

  • Meal prep: The meat mixture freezes well. Reheat and serve over fresh toast anytime.

  • No Texas toast? Use thick-cut French bread or garlic bread as a substitute.
