- Top with 2-3 tablespoons of jarred pizza sauce.
- Top with about 3 tablespoons of cooked/scrambled ground beef. Add more or less if desired.
- Sprinkle with remaining shredded mozzarella cheese. Add more or less if desired.
- Carefully place 4 slices of pizza toast in an ungreased cookie sheet or use an ungreased baking pan.
- Place under broiler for 1 minute or until cheese is melted. Watch closely to prevent edges of toast from burning.
- Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese (optional) and sprinkle with red pepper flakes (optional). Serve hot.
