Cheesy BBQ Sloppy Joes

I don’t think there is anything quite like a good ole Sloppy Joe.  I just love them. It is a meal that is so much a part of my childhood. And I like to have a little fun making different versions of the traditional Sloppy Joe. This one has a BBQ twist. This is a quick little recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. You can twist it up and change it to add flavors that your family likes.

Don’t like tomatoes? You can leave those out. Want more BBQ flavor? Then cut the amount of ketchup in half and add in more BBQ sauce. You can also add in onions and green peppers.  Or kick up the heat and try adding some chopped jalapeƱos. It really is a fun recipe to play with but one that is definitely family friendly. And that garlic Texas Toast on the bottom just adds a kick of flavor to the whole party. Be sure to check out the Chicken Parmesan Pizza I shared last week if you missed it. That one uses garlic Texas toast as a base too and is SO good!


Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup bottled barbecue sauce
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. sugar
1 box (8 slices) frozen garlic Texas toast
1 cup (or more) shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

Brown and crumble ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease.
cooked ground beef
Return meat to skillet and add in diced tomatoes, ketchup, barbecue sauce, worcestershire sauce and sugar.  Note: The added sugar is optional in this. I think it helps balance out the acidity of the tomatoes. But if you are using a very sweet barbecue sauce then you may not feel the added sugar is necessary. Just go by taste here.
