1.Place the buns with the insides facing up on a baking tray, OR lay each slice of the Texa Toast Bread on the tray

7.Place a slice of cheese on each slice of bread or bun, place under the broiler for 30 seconds
8.Spoon an equal amount of Sloppy Joe filling on each piece of bread and place another slice of cheese on top
9.Place the baking tray under the broiler one more time for 30 seconds to melt the cheese.

NOTES

 

Are these better on garlic toast or on a bun?

For me, it does not matter what is holding this dreamy delight called Sloppy Joes. In all reality, it is easier when the Sloppy Joe is placed on a bun.
