Toasted Sloppy Joe

• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
• 1/2 c. onion, chopped
• 1 lb. lean ground beef
• 2 Tbsp. brown sugar (light brown)
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper
• 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 5 to 10 drops Tabasco sauce (or to taste)
• 1/4 c. ketchup
• 1/2 to 1 c. tomato juice or V-8 juice
• 8 slices white bread
• 4 slices American cheese (sharp Cheddar, if one prefers)
• 2 to 4 Tbsp. butter or margarine (I prefer butter)

1. For the meat sauce (Sloppy Joe), saute garlic in the oil over medium heat in large skillet.
2. As the garlic begins to brown, add the onion and saute until soft.
3. Stir in the beef with a fork; continue stirring constantly to keep it loose as it browns.
