How to make Sloppy Joes on Texas Toast

Ingredients :

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 2 cups chopped onion
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ¾ cup ketchup
• 2 tsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• 4 pieces Green Mill Texas Toast
• 1 oz shredded cheddar cheese

Directions :

1. Cook the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and chopped onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and the onions are softened (about 7-10 minutes). Drain any excess grease.

2. Prepare the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle the garlic powder over the beef mixture and stir to combine. Add ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Stir until the ingredients are evenly distributed and the sauce begins to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Toast the Texas Toast: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the Green Mill Texas Toast on a baking sheet. Bake according to the package instructions (typically for 5-7 minutes).

4. Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Place a slice of Texas toast on each serving plate. Spoon a generous portion of the beef mixture onto each slice of toast. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Optional: Top with sliced green onions or a dollop of sour cream.
