Description
Cheesy Sloppy Joe Toast is a quick and hearty open-faced sandwich made with savory ground beef in a tangy tomato-based sauce, topped with melty cheese and served over toasted bread. Perfect for a comforting lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of thick bread (sourdough or Texas toast)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for toasting bread)
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Meanwhile, brush bread slices with olive oil or butter and toast them in a pan or under a broiler until golden.
- Spoon the sloppy joe mixture generously over each toasted bread slice.
- Top with shredded cheddar cheese and place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or pickles.
Notes
- For extra crunch, add pickled jalapeños or coleslaw on top before serving.
- Use leftover sloppy joe mix for stuffed bell peppers or wraps.
- Try a cheese blend like cheddar and mozzarella for a gooier melt.
