    • notes

      • Alternately, after cheese is added to the sloppy joe mixture, broil for 1 minute until cheese is melted.
      • Try rubbing a clove of garlic over the baked bread before adding the sloppy joe mixture for a delicious flavor.
      • Refrigerate leftover sloppy joe mixture separate from the toast.
      • Reheat sloppy joe mixture on the stovetop and repeat from step 4 for a quick lunch or dinner.
