This is so easy, just basically mix everything together and heat. I like the idea of the toast. That way, the bread won't get soggy as it usually does with sloppy Joes. Recipe & photo: betterrecipes.com 09-03-15

How To Make easy sloppy joe on toast

    Remove the vegetables from the pan to a medium sized bowl and set aside. Using the same pan, salt the bottom of the pan. Heat the pan on high.

    Crumble the ground beef into the hot pan. Do not stir, just let it sit till brown on one side. Flip the beef over and brown the other side. Add the garlic and onion to the beef in the pan. Add the ketchup, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and brown sugar to the pan.
