Tips for the Best Texas Toast Sloppy Joes
For extra flavor, add diced bell peppers or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat mixture. You can also experiment with different cheeses—sharp cheddar adds bold flavor, while mozzarella creates an irresistible cheesy pull.
Be careful not to make the Sloppy Joe mixture too watery. A thicker filling sits better on the toast and helps keep it crispy around the edges.

Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 8 slices frozen Texas toast
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven according to the directions on the Texas toast package.
- While the oven is heating, brown the ground beef and chopped onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the beef is fully cooked and the onion is soft, drain off any excess grease.
- Next, stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and brown sugar. Add a little salt and pepper, then let everything simmer for about 5–10 minutes.
- Bake the Texas toast until it is lightly golden. Then comes the good part—spoon plenty of the warm Sloppy Joe mixture onto each slice and cover it with shredded cheese.
- Pop everything back into the oven for a few minutes, just until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and impossible to resist.
