Equipment
- 1 skillet or frying pan
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 cutting board
- 1 serving plates
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 slices Texas toast
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes).
- Drain any excess fat from the skillet and add the diced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
- Stir in the ketchup, yellow mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the Sloppy Joe mixture simmers, preheat another skillet or griddle over medium heat. Butter one side of each slice of Texas toast.
- Place the Texas toast in the preheated skillet, buttered side down, and toast until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and toast the other side until golden brown.
- To serve, spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture generously over four slices of Texas toast and top with the remaining slices, buttered side up.
- Optional: Serve with pickles and potato chips on the side.
