Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 bell pepper, finely chopped

• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon mustard

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.

7. Once the Texas toast is ready, butter each slice.
8. Spoon a generous portion of the sloppy joe mixture onto one slice of Texas toast. Top with another slice to create a sandwich.
