Step 2: Toast the Texas Bread
- Butter the bread: Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of Texas toast.
- Toast: In a skillet or on a griddle over medium heat, toast the bread until golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges. You can also use a toaster oven if preferred.
Step 3: Assemble the Sloppy Joes
- Layer generously: Place a heaping portion of the sloppy joe mixture on a slice of toasted Texas bread.
- Add toppings (optional): Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese or add pickles for extra flavor.
- Top with toast: Place another slice of Texas toast on top to complete the sandwich.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve your Sloppy Joes immediately while warm. Pair with crispy fries, potato chips, or a simple side salad.
- For extra indulgence, drizzle a little extra ketchup or BBQ sauce over the filling before topping with the second slice of toast.
Tips for the Perfect Texas Toast Sloppy Joes
- Meat choice matters: Ground beef gives the classic taste, but mixing with pork or turkey can add a richer or leaner texture.
- Make it ahead: The filling can be made a day in advance and reheated, which allows the flavors to deepen.
- Cheese love: Melting cheese directly on the filling while it’s hot makes it extra gooey.
