02 -
1 cup yellow onion, finely diced
03 -
1 cup tomato sauce
04 -
2 tablespoons ketchup
05 -

→ Garlic Toast and Topping
10 -
8 slices frozen garlic toast
11 -
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onions, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until fully browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Drain excess grease.
02 -
Return the skillet to heat and add tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir to combine and simmer, uncovered, for 5 to 8 minutes until thickened and flavorful.
03 -
Place the frozen garlic toast slices evenly on a large baking sheet, ensuring space between each for optimal crisping.
04 -
Spoon a generous portion of the hot beef mixture onto each slice of garlic toast, then sprinkle with freshly shredded cheddar cheese.
05 -
Transfer the tray to a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the garlic toast is crisp and the cheddar is thoroughly melted and golden.
06 -
Remove from the oven, let the toasts cool for 1–2 minutes, then serve warm to enjoy the crispy edges and molten cheese topping.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
Let the beef mixture rest a few minutes before assembling to avoid soggy toast.
02 -
Use freshly shredded cheddar for the optimal melt and flavor.
03 -
Tent foil over the tray if the cheese begins to brown before the toast crisps.
