Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 slices of bread
- Butter, for spreading
- 8 slices of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef with the chopped onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain any excess grease.
- Add tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
