  • 2 cloves garlic, minced<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup ketchup<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste<\/li>\n
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce<\/li>\n
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional for sweetness)<\/li>\n

    Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Cook the Meat & Veggies<\/strong>\n
        \n
      • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt a little oil or butter.<\/li>\n
      • Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Saut\u00e9 for 3\u20134 minutes until softened.<\/li>\n
      • Add the garlic and cook another 30 seconds.<\/li>\n
      • Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • Make the Sloppy Joe Sauce<\/strong>\n
          \n
        • Stir in ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.<\/li>\n
        • Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken slightly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        • Prepare the Texas Toast<\/strong>\n
            \n
          • While the meat simmers, butter both sides of the Texas toast slices.<\/li>\n
          • Toast them in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C) until golden brown and crispy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
          • Assemble the Sloppy Joes<\/strong>\n
              \n
            • Spoon a generous portion of the sloppy joe mixture onto each slice of Texas toast.<\/li>\n
            • Top with a slice of cheddar cheese if desired. Let it melt slightly before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
            • Serve & Enjoy<\/strong>\n
                \n
              • Optionally, top with pickles or extra onions for crunch.<\/li>\n
              • Serve hot and watch everyone go back for seconds!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Tip:<\/strong> For a more indulgent version, you can broil the assembled Texas toast sloppy joes with cheese on top for 1\u20132 minutes until bubbly and golden.<\/p>\n
