8 pieces frozen garlic toast
11 -
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
02 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and diced onion, cooking for 6-8 minutes while breaking up the meat with a spatula until no pink remains and onions are softened. Drain off any excess grease.
03 -
Add tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder to the beef mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
04 -
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
05 -
Place the frozen garlic toast pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Top each piece with a generous scoop of the sloppy joe mixture, spreading it evenly to the edges.
06 -
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over each loaded toast. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the bread is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
07 -
Let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. These are perfect as an appetizer, snack, or easy dinner served with a side salad.
# Notes:
01 -
Frozen garlic toast works perfectly and saves time
02 -
Don't skip draining the grease - it prevents soggy toast
03 -
The brown sugar balances the tangy tomato and mustard flavors
04 -
Spread the sloppy joe mixture to the edges so every bite has flavor

These can be made ahead and reheated in the oven
