TEXAS TOAST SLOPPY

Sloppy Joe Filling: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain the excess fat.

Veggies: Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until the veggies are softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and water. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes or until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Texas Toast: While the sloppy joe mixture is simmering, prepare the Texas Toast according to the package instructions.

Assemble: Once the Texas Toast is golden and crispy, spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto half of the toast slices. If desired, sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Top with the remaining slices of toast.

Serve: Serve the Texas Toast Sloppy Joes hot with a side salad or your favorite chips.
