Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices frozen Texas Toast garlic bread
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup yellow onion, diced
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- ½ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, and cook until no longer pink, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain the excess grease from the skillet.
- Add the butter, onions, salt, and pepper to the skillet and saute for 2 to 3 minutes or until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Stir in the brown sugar, yellow mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- While the sauce is cooking, place the frozen Texas Toast onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 6 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly distribute the sloppy Joe mixture on top of the Texas Toast.
- Top each toast with shredded mozzarella cheese, about 1/8 cup each. Place the baking sheet back into the oven for 3 to 4 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use different bread like sourdough or ciabatta if preferred.
- Toast the bread slightly longer to prevent sogginess.
- Mozzarella melts best, but cheddar or Monterey Jack work too.
- Prepare the meat mixture ahead and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
