Ingredients
– 1 pound ground beef (or turkey for a lighter option)
– 1 small onion, diced
– 1 green bell pepper, diced
– 1 cup ketchup
– 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
– 1 tablespoon mustard
– 1 tablespoon brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 8 slices Texas toast
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)
Equipment Needed
– Large skillet or frying pan
– Wooden spoon or spatula
– Measuring cups and spoons
– Baking sheet (for toasting the bread)
– Serving platter or individual plates
Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first: heat your large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef, cooking until it’s browned and crumbly. As it cooks, I like to break it up into smaller pieces with my wooden spoon. After a few minutes, add the diced onion and bell pepper to the pan. The aroma that fills your kitchen at this stage is just heavenly! Stir everything together and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft.
