Mix ½ cup ketchup, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp mustard, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, salt & pepper.

4. Assemble Toasts:

• Spoon the meat mixture generously over each partially baked Texas toast slice.

• Top with shredded cheese.

5. Bake Again:

• Return to oven and bake 5–7 more minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

🌿 Serve With:

• Pickles or a side salad

• Crinkle fries or tater tots

• Corn on the cob or coleslaw

🧊 Storage & Reheating:

• Store meat mixture separately for 3–4 days.

• Toast and top fresh when ready to eat.
