Follow The Directions

01

Step

Gather ingredients. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

02

Step

Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add ground beef and onion; cook, stirring often to crumble, until meat is browned in spots and no longer pink, and onion is softened, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

03

Step

While meat cooks, whisk together broth, vinegar, brown sugar, worcestershire, salt, soy sauce, yellow mustard, and pepper in a small bowl.

04

Step

Stir broth mixture into skillet and cook, stirring often, until sauce has reduced slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

05

Step

Arrange toasts in an even layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until crisp and lightly browned on the bottoms, but still soft in the center, 8 to 9 minutes.

06

Step

Use the round side of a large spoon to press into the center of each toast to create a well, leaving about a 1/4-inch border around the edge of each bread. Spoon about a heaping 1/4 cup of meat mixture into each well. Sprinkle meat and toasts with cheese (about 1/4 cup per toast).

07

Step

Return baking sheet to oven and bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) until cheese is just melted and toasts are crisp, about 5 minutes.

08

Step

Serve immediately with pickle chips.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat mixture.
Feel free to substitute your favorite cheese blend. Pepper jack would be delicious!
If you don't have Texas toast, use thick slices of your favorite bread, brushed with garlic butter.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
