Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 8 slices Texas toast

Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until they are softened, about 5 minutes.
