Salt and pepper, to taste
6 slices of Texas toast
2 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Cook the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add vegetables: Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté until soft, about 4-5 minutes.

shredded cheddar cheese.
Melt cheese: Place the toasts under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
Garnish and serve: Top with fresh parsley if desired.
