    👩🏻‍🍳Expert Tips

    Tip 1: We used shredded mozzarella cheese but shredded cheddar cheese would work as well in the open faced sandwich.

    Tip 2: You will want to serve these shortly after cooking them. Letting them sit will cause the bread to become soggy and believe me, you want it crispy!

    🤷🏻‍♀️Recipe FAQs

    How do I store sloppy joe Texas toast?

    Store any leftover ground beef in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Do not store the assembled sloppy joes with the beef on the bread as they don't keep well.

    Can I make this Texas toast sloppy joes recipe with ground turkey or ground chicken?

    Yes, you can substitute either for ground beef.
