Texas toast sloppy

“`html

Growing up, Sloppy Joes were a staple in my household. I vividly remember the convenience of the canned variety that my family often resorted to. However, everything changed when I decided to create my own recipe for Sweetbay Supermarket. Making the sauce from scratch is not only incredibly simple, but it also elevates the classic Sloppy Joe to a whole new level of deliciousness.

What makes this recipe even more exciting is serving it on Texas cheese toast instead of regular bread. Trust me, it adds a delightful twist that you’ll absolutely love! In my book, these open-faced sandwiches just wouldn’t be complete without a side of corn on the cob—it’s the perfect pairing, much like grilled cheese and tomato soup.

The best part? This meal is budget-friendly, nourishing a family of four for under $10 and taking less than 20 minutes to prepare. It’s a win-win!
