INGREDIENTS NEEDED:
FOR THE SLOPPY JOE FILLING:
1 lb.Of ground beef.
1 small chopped onion.
1 chopped green bell pepper.
2 minced cloves garlic.
1 Cup.Of ketchup.
2 Tbsp.Of brown sugar.
1 Tbsp.Of Worcestershire sauce.
1 Tsp.Of yellow mustard.
1/2 Tsp.Of chili powder.
1/2 Tsp.Of paprika.
Salt and pepper, to taste.
FOR THE TEXAS TOAST:
8 slices of Texas toast.
4 Tbsp.Of softened unsalted butter.
2 minced cloves garlic.
1 Tbsp.Of fresh chopped parsley.
1/4 Cup.Of grated Parmesan cheese.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1st Step
Brown the minced beef in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Remove all excess fat.
2nd Step
Add the diced onion and green pepper to the stewed sirloin in the skillet. Approximately 3 to 5 minutes, or until pliable and translucent.
3rd Step
Incorporate the minced garlic, chile powder, paprika, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, ketchup, salt, and pepper into the sauce. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and simmer on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to combine and the sauce to coagulate.
4th Step
While the Sloppy Joe filling simmers, preheat the oven according to the Texas toast package’s instructions. Combine the softened butter, minced garlic, sliced parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese in a small basin. This produces a condiment for Texas toast that is piquant.
5th Step
On a baking sheet, arrange the Texas toast segments. Spread the garlic and Parmesan butter on one side of each slice evenly. Then, according to the instructions on the container, bake the Texas toast in the preheated oven until golden brown and crusty.
6th Step
Once the Texas toast is ready, lay a dollop of the prepared Sloppy Joe filling between two slices of the garlic-infused toast.
7th Step
Serve your Sloppy Joes on Texas Toast fresh. They complement coleslaw, pickles, or potato chips to create a complete and satisfying entrée.
Enjoy!
