Instructions

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a large sheet pan with cooking spray.
• Place the 8 frozen garlic Texas toast slices in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan with space between each piece. Bake for 5 minutes.
• While the toast bakes, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add 1 cup diced yellow onion to the skillet and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden, about 5–7 minutes.
• Add 2 teaspoons minced garlic and sauté about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
• Add 1 pound lean ground beef (93/7) to the skillet and cook, breaking up and crumbling the meat, until browned and cooked through.
• Stir in 1 (13-ounce) jar Rao’s pizza sauce and 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning; cook, stirring, until the sauce is warmed through. Remove the skillet from heat.
• Remove the partially baked toast from the oven and evenly divide the meat sauce among the 8 slices.
• Evenly sprinkle 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese over the toasts (about 1/4 cup or 4 tablespoons per slice). If desired, top with miniature pepperoni.
• Return the sheet pan to the 425°F oven and bake 5–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and edges are golden. Remove and serve immediately.
