### Instructions
1. **Preheat the oven** to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. **Cook the beef:** In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
3. **Add flavor:** Stir in the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
4. **Mix the sauce:** Add ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly.
5. **Toast the bread:** Lightly toast the bread slices in the oven for 5 minutes to help them hold the toppings.
6. **Assemble:** Spoon a generous amount of the Sloppy Joe mixture over each slice of toast. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
7. **Bake:** Return to the oven and bake for 5–8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
8. **Serve hot:** Garnish with optional toppings and serve immediately.
