Cook the Ground Beef:
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the Onions and Garlic:
Add the chopped onions to the beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder and stir to combine, allowing it to cook for another minute.
Prepare the Sloppy Joe Sauce:
Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, and pepper.
Mix everything together until the sauce is well combined and the beef is evenly coated.
Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld together.
Prepare the Texas Toast:
While the sloppy joe mixture simmers, toast the Texas Toast according to the package instructions until golden and crispy. If you prefer, you can toast it in the oven or on a griddle.
Assemble the Sloppy Joes:
Once the Texas Toast is ready, place the toasted bread on plates.
Spoon the sloppy joe mixture generously over each slice of toast.
Top with Cheese:
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the sloppy joe mixture while it’s still hot, allowing the cheese to melt.
Serve:
Serve the Texas Toast Sloppy Joes immediately while warm. For a complete meal, pair with your favorite sides like fries, a salad, or coleslaw.
Enjoy this delicious, indulgent twist on the classic sloppy joe!
