3. Preparing the Sloppy Joe Filling

Start by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Once it’s cooked through, add diced onions, minced garlic, and sliced bell peppers to the pan. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and aromatic. Next, stir in the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer until the flavors meld together into a mouthwatering sauce.

4. Toasting the Texas Toast

While your Sloppy Joe filling is simmering, it’s time to prepare the Texas toast. Spread a generous layer of butter on both sides of each slice of bread. Place them on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven until they’re golden brown and crispy on the edges.

5. Assembling Your Sandwiches

Once the Texas toast is perfectly toasted, spoon a generous portion of the Sloppy Joe filling onto each slice. Top it off with another slice of Texas toast to create a sandwich. Repeat until all your sandwiches are assembled and ready to serve.
