Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup diced onion
2 minced garlic cloves
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 can tomato sauce, 8 ounces
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Optional: Dash of cinnamon
6 slices frozen garlic Texas toast
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
Stir in tomato sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, ground cumin, and a dash of cinnamon (if using). Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Preheat the oven and bake the frozen garlic Texas toast slices according to package instructions.
Place a scoop of the sloppy joe mixture onto each slice of toasted Texas toast.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the sloppy joe mixture. The heat from the meat should naturally melt the cheese.
Optional: Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve hot and enjoy!
