- ¼ cup of finely chopped green bell pepper
- 1 cup of sweet tomato-based condiment Ketchup
- ½ cup of plain H₂O
- 1 tablespoon of packed brown granulated sweetener
- 2 teaspoons of savory fermented condiment (Worcestershire sauce)
- 1 teaspoon of prepared yellow condiment Mustard

Instructions
Prepare Broiler:
- Adjust your oven rack and activate the broiler function on high heat.
Sauté Meat & Vegetables:
- In a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat, combine the ground beef, diced onion, and chopped peppers. Cook until the meat is fully browned and the vegetables have softened. Remove the skillet from the heat and carefully drain off any accumulated fat or liquid.
Create Sauce:
- Return the skillet to the stove and reduce the heat to low. Incorporate the tomato condiment, water, brown sugar, savory fermented condiment, prepared yellow condiment, and granulated garlic seasoning. Mix thoroughly. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a desired, thickened consistency.
Toast Bread Base:
- Arrange the slices of thick garlic bread on a baking sheet. Place them under the broiler until they achieve a light golden-brown color on the surface.
First Layer of Cheese:
- Remove the toast from the broiler. Immediately cover each toasted slice with one piece of the white American cheese. Return the sheet to the broiler for approximately 30 seconds, or just long enough for the cheese to start melting.
Assemble and Top:
- Spoon an equal amount of the thickened, savory meat mixture onto each slice of bread. Place a second slice of American cheese directly on top of the filling.
Final Melt:
- Return the baking sheet to the broiler one last time until the top layer of cheese is completely melted and bubbly. Serve immediately
