Instructions
Step 1: Bake the Texas Toast
Preheat your oven according to the Texas toast package directions.
Place the Texas toast onto a wire rack and bake until heated through and lightly crispy.
step 2: Cook the Ground Beef
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef, and season generously with Salt Pepper Garlic Seasoning.
Cook the beef until browned and fully cooked, then drain any excess grease if needed.
Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet.
Stir the cheese into the hot beef until it melts and everything is well combined.
Step 3: Create a Well in the Texas Toast
Using the back of a spoon, gently press down the center of each piece of toast to create a shallow well.
Be careful not to press all the way through the toast.

Then add a layer of shredded lettuce, followed by diced onion and diced pickle chips.
Drizzle plenty of burger sauce over the top and sprinkle sesame seeds.

- Fresh toppings are best: Crisp lettuce, fresh onions, and crunchy pickles give this recipe the perfect texture.
- Make it spicy: Add diced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce for a spicy version.
