Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 slices of thick bread (like sourdough or ciabatta)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or turkey until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Step 2: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- Step 3: Stir in the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Step 4: While the meat mixture simmers, preheat your oven to broil. Place the slices of bread on a baking sheet and toast them under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Step 5: Once toasted, remove the bread from the oven and spoon the sloppy joe mixture generously onto each slice. Top with shredded cheese and return to the broiler for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Step 6: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your Open Face Garlic Toast Sloppy Joes!
Notes
- For optimal storage, keep any leftover sloppy joe mixture and toasted bread separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- When reheating, warm the sloppy joe mixture in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, and toast the bread lightly again to restore its crispiness.
- Consider serving your Open Face Garlic Toast Sloppy Joes with a side of coleslaw or a simple green salad for a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors.
- For extra flavor, try adding a splash of hot sauce or your favorite spices to the meat mixture while it simmers, enhancing the dish's overall taste profile.
