Ingredients and Their Roles
1 pound ground beef (80/20 preferred): The hearty base, providing juicy, meaty flavor.
1 small onion, finely diced: Adds sweetness and depth to the sauce.
1 small green bell pepper, finely diced: Brings crunch and a mild bitterness that balances the sweetness of the sauce.
2 cloves garlic, minced: Infuses rich, aromatic flavor.
1 cup ketchup: The sweet, tangy foundation of the Sloppy Joe sauce.
2 tablespoons tomato paste: Thickens and intensifies the tomato flavor.
2 tablespoons brown sugar: Balances acidity with a caramel-like sweetness.
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce: Adds savory umami depth.
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard: Cuts through richness with tangy sharpness.
½ teaspoon smoked paprika: A touch of smokiness that enhances the beef.
Salt and black pepper, to taste: Essential for seasoning and flavor balance.
8 slices frozen Texas toast (garlic buttered): The star of the recipe—crispy, buttery, and sturdy enough to hold the filling.
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional but recommended): Melty, gooey topping that takes it over the top.
