Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the ground beef and the onion; cook, stirring often to break up the meat, until the meat is browned in spots and no longer pink and the onion is softened, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- 3
While the meat cooks, whisk the broth, vinegar, brown sugar, worcestershire, salt, soy sauce, yellow mustard, and pepper together in a small bowl.
- 4
Stir the broth mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring often, until the sauce reduces slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- 5
Arrange the toasts in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until crisp and lightly browned on the bottoms but still soft in the center, 8 to 9 minutes.
- 6
Use the back of a large spoon to press into the center of each toast to form a well, leaving about a 1/4-inch border around the edge of each piece. Spoon about a heaping 1/4 cup of the meat mixture into each well. Sprinkle the meat and toasts with cheese (about 1/4 cup per toast).
- 7
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) until the cheese is just melted and the toasts are crisp, about 5 minutes.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
