Step 3

While waiting for them to bake, cook the ground beef in a pan until nice and brown, then transfer them to a strainer over a bowl, and drain off all the excess grease. In the same pan, add the butter, onions, and bell peppers, then saute them for about 3 to 5 minutes until brown, add the garlic, and continue to saute for 1 more minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Put the ground beef back into the pan, then add the light brown sugar, chili powder, salt, and black pepper, and then add the ketchup, mustard, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and steak sauce. Give them a good mix and bring them to a simmer for about 2 minutes, then turn off the heat, and set them aside.

Step 5

Get the toasts on the baking sheet, then flip them over, and top each of them with the sloppy joe mixture. Sprinkle them with shredded cheese, then put them back in the oven, and bake them for another 5 minutes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
