Cheesy Beef Toasts

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• ¼ cup tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 8 slices thick bread
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
3. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
5. Season the beef with salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Stir well.
6. Add the tomato paste, tomato sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix everything together and let the beef simmer for 3–5 minutes until flavorful and slightly saucy.
7. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet. Lightly butter each slice.
8. Spoon the savory beef mixture generously over each piece of bread.
9. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the beef.
10. Bake for 8–12 minutes, or until the bread is toasted around the edges and the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.
