Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Brown the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef until fully cooked. Once done, drain any excess fat well.
-
Add Seasonings: To the skillet with the cooked beef, add the tomato sauce, ground cumin, and taco seasoning. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 to 20 minutes, ensuring the flavors meld together beautifully.

Prepare Bread: Place the bread slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Spread Mixture: Evenly spread the beef and sauce mixture over the bread slices, ensuring each slice is generously coated.
-
Layer Ingredients: Top the beef mixture with layers of sliced onions, tomatoes, and cheddar cheese slices. Be generous with the cheese for that gooey, melty goodness!
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the Mexi-Melts from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Cut into pieces and serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or sliced jalapeños if desired.
-
Optional Broiling: For an extra crispy finish, you can broil the Mexi-Melts for a couple of minutes after baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
