A 30-MINUTE COMFORT FOOD DINNER
If you’ve been around a bit, you may have noticed I have been loving all of these fun Texas Toast recipes. They are all fairly easy to make and the garlic Texas Toast really gives you a great base to enjoy all kinds of flavors! They’re so great for weeknight dinners and can be easily adjusted to taste and amount of servings that you need.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
For extra color and flavor, sauté a diced green bell pepper along with the onion.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture for a little bit of heat.
Go simple here! I would just grab a bagged salad and call it done! But if you want more vegetables, then maybe some steamed broccoli, carrots or green beans would go nicely too. Super simple, fast, and adds a balance of veggies.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The bread will soften over time.
For best results, reheat leftovers in an oven or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through. This helps re-crisp the toast. You can also microwave them, but the bread will be soft.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
- garlic Texas toast – use your favorite brand.
- ground beef– Ground turkey or ground chicken can be used as a substitute for ground beef.
- small yellow onion – diced
- sliced baby bella mushrooms– these are optional if you aren’t a mushroom fan
- steak seasoning– If you don’t have steak seasoning, use an even mix of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder instead. Adjust to taste. I usually grab a bottle of Montreal Steak Seasoning.
- Worcestershire sauce
- low sodium beef broth– if you are concerned about your sodium intake or wondering if this is salty, I always suggest using low or no sodium options and then add salt later if you think it’s needed. You can add some in, but you can’t remove it.
- low sodium brown gravy mix– since we are using multiple salty ingredients, I like to stick to low sodium ones so this doesn’t get too salty too quick. You can make a Homemade Gravy Mix where you can really control the ingredients.
- shredded mozzarella and provolone cheese blend– Feel free to use other cheeses you have on hand. Shredded cheddar, Swiss, or a simple mozzarella would all work well.
- fresh parsley, chopped (or dried parsley, optional)
HOW TO MAKE SALISBURY STEAK TEXAS TOAST:
Preheat the oven according to the Texas toast package instructions (usually 425F degrees). Place the toast on a baking sheet and bake as directed (usually 8 minutes but go by the directions on the box you purchased.) When toast is done, turn the oven temperature down to 375F degrees. While the toast is baking, place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion, breaking up the meat with a spoon. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion has softened. Drain off any excess grease and place meat back into the skillet.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet (if using) with the beef and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they are tender. Stir in the steak seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth.
Sprinkle the brown gravy mix over the skillet contents and stir everything together until well combined. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. Taste to see if any additional salt or pepper needs to be added to your tastes.
When the Texas toast is finished baking, remove it from the oven. Use the back of a spoon to gently press down the center of each slice, creating a small well. Spoon the prepared beef mixture evenly onto each slice of Texas toast. Top each slice generously with the shredded cheese blend. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake on the middle rack at 375°F for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if using, and serve immediately. Enjoy!

So glad to get some new recipes and ideas! I feel like I make the same meals over and over and enjoy them less and less. Thanks so much for the recipes. So far I have only made the chicken enchiladas and they were delicious! Doubled the recipe and have the second in the freezer for a quick “don’t have to think about it” dinner. Thanks again!
Excellent!
