Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 small green pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine or beef broth
  • 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 1 pkg. frozen garlic Texas toast
  • 8 slices mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425. In a skillet, cook and crumble beef with green pepper, onion, and minced garlic over medium-high heat until no longer pink; drain. Add wine. Bring to a boil; reduce wine by half, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, salt and pepper; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until the mixture is thickened, stirring occasionally.

  2. Meanwhile, place Texas toast on a foil-lined baking sheet; bake until lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. Top with beef mixture, then cheese; bake until cheese is melted, 3-4 minutes.
