Ingredients

1 lb ground round (85/15)
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 cup beef broth
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp light brown sugar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp yellow mustard
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 box (11.25 oz) frozen Texas Toast garlic bread
8 oz pre-shredded triple cheddar blend
Bread and butter pickle chips

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

2

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.

3

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

4

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

5

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.

6

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.

7

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake until the cheese is just melted and the toasts are crisp, about 5 minutes.

8

Serve immediately with pickle chips.
