Italian Joes on Texas Toast

I found this in the August/September issue of Simple and Delicious.  I am going to try this for a weeknight supper.

1lb. ground beef
1 small green pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 C. dry red wine or beef broth
1 14.5oz. can diced tomatoes
1/4 C. tomato paste
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 pkg. frozen garlic Texas toast
8 slices part skim mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  In a skillet, cook and crumble beef with green pepper, onion and minced garlic over medium high heat until no longer pink; drain.  Add wine.  Bring to a boil; reduce wine by half, about 2 minutes.  Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, and pepper; return to a boil.  Reduce heat; simmer until the mixture is thickened, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, place Texas toast on a foil lined baking sheet; baked until lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. Top with beef mixture, then cheese; bake until cheese is melted, 3-4 minutes.
