Let’s dive into the process. It’s straightforward and perfect for when you’ve got little ones running around, needing everything at once—just like my own kitchen chaos.

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
4. Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Meanwhile, place Texas Toast slices on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly butter one side of each slice.
6. Spoon the meat mixture generously over each toast slice. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
8. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious mess!
