Smokey Sloppy Joe & Provolone Toasties

Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef, browned and drained
2 cans sloppy joe sauce (choose one with a smoky BBQ kick, or add a dash of liquid smoke)
2 boxes Texas Toast garlic bread with cheese
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese or sliced provolone
Optional: Garlic keto toast for a low-carb twist

Instructions

Set the Stage: Preheat your oven to a cozy 375°F. Imagine your kitchen filling with the warm, inviting scent of garlic bread—your taste buds are in for a treat.

Sizzle & Simmer: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until crumbly and fragrant. Drain the excess grease like you’re tidying up the dance floor, then stir in the smoky sloppy joe sauce. Let this flavorful medley simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep things grooving.

Toast the Base: Lay your cheesy garlic Texas Toast slices on a cookie sheet, spreading them out like the stars they are. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes—just long enough to crisp the edges while keeping the inside pillowy soft.

Bring It All Together: Remove the golden toast from the oven and let the magic begin. Spoon a generous dollop of the savory meat mixture onto each slice, letting it cascade like a rich, smoky waterfall.

Crown Your Creation: Top with shredded mozzarella for gooey goodness or sliced provolone for an elegant melt. Pop the tray back in the oven and bake for 7 more minutes, just until the cheese bubbles and melts into a blanket of irresistible deliciousness.

Serve & Savor: Plate up these beauties hot from the oven, and let everyone dig into a little slice of heaven. Bonus points if you save a couple for yourself before they vanish!
