Ingredients
- Garlic Toast (8 count)

Make BBQ Cheeseburger Garlic Toast
To start making this easy dinner, cook a box of garlic toast following the directions on the box.
I like to cook it just a little longer than the directions call for, so it’s extra crispy. You can cook it to your liking!
Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add the ground beef to the skillet with a chopped onion.
Season with salt, pepper, ground mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Once the beef is fully cooked, drain any extra grease. Add the minced garlic and bbq sauce. Stir well.
Use a spoon to push down on each piece of garlic toast. This step will help the garlic toast hold all of the ingredients. Think of it like a little garlic toast boat!
After creating a little garlic toast boat, add the ground beef mixture on top of garlic bread.
Next, add shredded cheese on top.
Drizzle a little bit more bbq sauce on the garlic toast.
I like using Buffalo Wild Wings Honey BBQ sauce because it’s sweet with a little bit of heat, but you can use any BBQ sauce you already have in your refrigerator.
Top each garlic toast with some crumbled bacon and a handful of crispy fried onions.
Put them back in the oven for just a few minutes to melt the cheese.
Serve BBQ Cheeseburger Garlic Toast
Once the cheese is melted it’s time to eat! I like to serve these with a salad kit and some extra ranch for dipping.
You will love this recipe because they are super easy to make, tasty, and can easily be customized to your liking.
These are perfect for a busy weeknight dinner or even as a game day appetizer.

Bruh. These are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
10/10!! These were SO GOOD!
very good. a keeper!
These were so good. The family loved it. I was missing the ground mustard but it was still good. I had to use more bbq sauce than the recipe called for because mine was still a little too dry with the 1/4 cup. Will definitely be making this again!
Made this tonight when I wasn’t sure what to make and the family loved it!! Soo good!!
