Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef Provides protein and rich flavor
- 1 cup Sloppy Joe sauce Adds tanginess and moisture to the beef mixture
- 8 slices Texas Toast Acts as a sturdy base for the juicy filling
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded Delivers creaminess and excellent melting properties
- 1 cup Colby Jack cheese, shredded Introduces sharpness and additional flavor depth
Optional Toppings

- Onions, chopped For added flavor burst
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by browning the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- Drain the excess fat from the cooked beef, then stir in the Sloppy Joe sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer uncovered for 10–12 minutes.
- Preheat your oven according to the Texas Toast package instructions, and lay the slices on a baking sheet.
Assembly
- Once the toast is crispy, generously spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture over each piece of Texas Toast.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and Colby Jack cheese liberally on top of the meat.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
You can swap ground beef for turkey or a vegetarian option. Consider making your Sloppy Joe sauce from scratch for a fresher taste. Best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated for leftovers.
