FAQs
Can I use regular bread instead of Texas toast?
Yes—but Texas toast provides a thick, buttery, sturdy base. If using regular bread, use two slices or brush with garlic butter and toast ahead to add strength.
Can I assemble ahead of time?
You can prepare the beef mixture ahead and store in the fridge. However, assemble the toast just before the final bake so the bread remains crisp.
What if I don’t have garlic bread?
You can make your own: thick bread slices, brushed with melted butter and minced garlic, then toasted for 3–4 minutes before topping.
Can I use different cheese?
Absolutely—cheddar, Colby Jack, pepper jack, mozzarella or blends all work. Choose based on your flavour preference.
