While the ground beef was cooking, I combined some ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and onion powder in a small mixing bowl.

Once the ground beef was fully cooked, I drained the grease from the pan.

Then I added the sauce to the pan with the meat.

I stirred until all of the ground beef was coated in sauce and then removed the pan from the heat.

This dish is best when eaten right away so that the bread will be a bit crispy.

After refrigerating and reheating the bread will become a bit soggy.

This was delicious! Super easy. I might add sweet bell pepper and cut back on the sugar next time but overall a keeper! Also, we had leftovers and re-heated in the oven for about 12 minutes at 325 the next day and it was still great!
