Indulge in this cheesy and savory open-faced sandwich that combines the classic flavors of a Maid Rite with buttery Texas Toast. Ready in just 30 minutes, it's the perfect comfort food for any American craving a satisfying bite.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and onion until the meat is browned with spots of pink remaining and the onion is softened, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
While the meat cooks, whisk together the broth, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, soy sauce, mustard, and pepper in a small bowl.
Stir the broth mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring often, until the sauce has reduced slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Arrange the Texas Toast slices on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until crisp and lightly browned on the bottoms but still soft in the center, 8 to 9 minutes.
Using the round side of a spoon, press into the center of each toast to create a well, leaving about a 1/4-inch border around the edge of each slice. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the meat mixture into each well and top with about 1/4 cup of cheese.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake until the cheese is just melted and the toasts are crisp, about 5 minutes.
Serve immediately with pickle chips.
