Frozen Texas Toast: One special ingredient that sets this recipe apart is Texas toast. It adds a combination of a crispy exterior and a soft interior. Follow the baking instructions, on the package for that brown finish.
Mozzarella Cheese: For a melt-in-your-mouth experience, opt for Mozzarella cheese. Its creamy and gooey texture perfectly complements the savory flavors of the joe filling. If you’re feeling adventurous try experimenting with cheese varieties for a twist.
Onion: Chopped onion not only enhances the flavor but also improves the texture of this dish. It blends seamlessly with the ground beef and sauce adding a touch of sweetness and aroma, to every bite. Adjust the amount based on your personal taste preferences.
Steps To Make Texas Toast Sloppy Joes:
Step 1: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F. This step is essential to achieve that crunch of Texas toast.
Step 2: Heat a skillet, over medium heat and cook your ground beef and finely chopped onions until the beef is no longer pink. Once cooked drain any fat.

Step 4: Arrange the frozen Texas toast slices on a baking sheet. Place them in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Until they achieve a tempting golden brown color.
Step 5: Once your Texas toast is perfectly toasted evenly spread the joe mixture over each slice of golden bread. Here comes the showstopper. Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
Step 6: Bake your Texas Toast Sloppy Joes, for 5 minutes or until the cheese turns into a bubbling gooey masterpiece.
