# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Bread

01 - 8 slices garlic Texas toast (approximately 11.25 ounces)

→ Protein and Vegetables

02 - 1 pound ground beef
03 - 1 small yellow onion, diced
04 - 1 cup sliced baby bella mushrooms (optional)

→ Seasonings and Sauces

05 - 1 teaspoon steak seasoning
06 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

→ Liquids

07 - 1 cup low sodium beef broth

→ Gravy and Cheese

08 - 1 packet low sodium brown gravy mix
09 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella and provolone cheese blend

→ Garnish

10 - Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven according to Texas toast package instructions (usually 425°F). Arrange 8 slices of garlic Texas toast on a baking sheet and bake for about 8 minutes or until golden and crisp. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F when done.
02 - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and diced onion, breaking up the meat. Cook until beef is browned with no pink remaining and onions are softened. Drain excess grease and return to skillet.
03 - Incorporate sliced mushrooms into the skillet if using. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
04 - Stir in steak seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Sprinkle the brown gravy mix over the mixture and combine well. Let simmer for approximately 5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
05 - Remove baked Texas toast from oven. Use the back of a spoon to gently press down the center of each slice, forming a shallow well.
06 - Spoon the beef mixture evenly into the wells on each toast slice. Top evenly with shredded cheese blend. Return to oven on the middle rack and bake at 375°F for 5 to 7 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
07 - Remove from oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

# Extra Tips & Details:

01 - For extra flavor, consider sautéing diced green bell pepper with the onions or adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
02 - Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated up to 3 days; reheat in oven for best texture.
