My Texas hubby can eat 10 slices all by himself!

Sloppy Joes: a quintessentially American dish known for its hearty, saucy goodness, sandwiched between two slices of bread. Today, we’re going to elevate this classic fare with a Texas twist – by serving it on garlicky, buttery Texas Toast. This hybrid creates a delightful blend of textures, from the crisp edges of the toast to the tender, savory filling. Why make this dish? It’s the epitome of comfort food, perfect for a casual dinner, a family gathering, or whenever you’re in the mood for something indulgent and satisfying. A nod to the rustic and bold flavors of Texas cuisine, these Sloppy Joes will surely be a crowd-pleaser.

To complement the richness of Texas Toast Sloppy Joes, consider serving them with tangy coleslaw, a simple garden salad, or crispy sweet potato fries. For a classic feel, nothing beats a dill pickle spear or some bread-and-butter pickles on the side. If you’re looking to keep the Texas theme going strong, serve with a side of corn on the cob slathered in butter and sprinkled with a touch of chili powder.
