- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese Use fresh cheese for better melt

- 4 slices garlic bread, toasted
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat for a leaner meal.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet; cook until the onion is softened, releasing delightful aromas.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Allow it to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, so the flavors meld beautifully.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese until fully melted and creamy.
- Load the beef mixture onto the toasted garlic bread slices.
- Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a burst of color and flavor.
Notes
The best way to serve is hot and fresh from the skillet, with a side of crispy fries or a simple mixed salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, warm the filling on the stove and toast your garlic bread again for optimum crunch.
