# Ingredients:

→ Beef Mixture

01 - 1 lb ground beef
02 - ½ yellow onion, finely diced
03 - 8 oz tomato sauce
04 - ¼ cup ketchup
05 - 1 tsp yellow mustard
06 - 1 tbsp brown sugar
07 - 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
08 - 1 tsp onion powder
09 - 1 tsp garlic powder

→ Assembly

10 - 8 slices frozen garlic toast
11 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

# Steps:

01 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and no longer pink. Drain excess grease.
02 - Add tomato sauce, ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, onion powder, and garlic powder to the skillet. Stir to combine and simmer for several minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
03 - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
04 - Place frozen garlic toast slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto each slice and evenly sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
05 - Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the toast is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
06 - Serve immediately while hot and cheese is bubbly.

# Tips:

01 - Simmer the beef mixture until thick to prevent soggy garlic toast and maintain crispness.
02 - Cheddar cheese can be substituted with mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or a cheddar blend.
03 - If using smaller garlic toast, portion the meat mixture to avoid spilling.
04 - Best served fresh for optimal crispness and cheese melt.
05 - Store leftover beef filling separately in the refrigerator for up to three days; reheat before assembling.
