Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes | Serves: 6–8

This Cheesy Garlic Bread with Savory Beef Topping is a delicious twist on classic garlic bread. Thick slices of bread are toasted with garlic butter, topped with juicy seasoned beef, and finished with gooey melted cheese. The result is a hearty snack, appetizer, or even main dish that everyone will love. The secret? Toasting the bread lightly before adding the beef ensures it stays crispy under the cheesy topping.
