Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef
1 small green pepper, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup dry red wine or beef broth
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 package (11-1/4 ounces) frozen garlic Texas toast
8 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425°. In a large skillet, cook and crumble beef with green pepper, onion and garlic over medium-high heat until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes; drain. Stir in wine. Bring to a boil; cook until wine is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, salt and pepper; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until mixture is thickened, 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, place Texas toast on a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. pan; bake until lightly browned, 8-10 minutes.
Spoon beef mixture onto toasts; top with cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately.
Yield: 8 servings.
