### **Instructions:**
**1. Toast the Texas Toast**
Preheat your oven according to the package directions for the Texas toast. Place slices on a baking sheet and toast for about **5–6 minutes**, or until they start to turn golden and crispy.
**2. Make the Sloppy Joe Filling**
While the toast is in the oven, brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic, and cook until the veggies are soft and the beef is fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed.
**3. Sauce It Up**
Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for **5–7 minutes** until thick and saucy.
**4. Assemble**
Remove the toast from the oven. Spoon a generous portion of the Sloppy Joe mixture onto each slice. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
**5. Broil to Finish**
Place the topped toast slices back in the oven under the broiler for **2–3 minutes**, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye so they don’t burn!
**6. Serve & Enjoy**
Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if you like. Serve hot, with napkins handy—because it *will* get delightfully messy.
