Bagel-BBQ: Make bagel shells by scooping out the insides of two or three sliced bagels. Brown 1 pound of crumbled ground beef, add garlic and onion if desired. Drain and season. Mix in 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1/2 cup barbecue sauce and bread crumbs made from the bagel insides. Cook until heated through. Spoon mixture into bagel shells and bake at 350 degree F for 15 minutes.
Sauted onion and mushroom: Saut a small onion and 1 cup of chopped mushrooms in a tablespoon of olive oil, add a crushed garlic clove if desired. Season with thyme or rosemary. Spoon onto bagel halves, cover with slices of Muenster or Havarti cheese. Broil until cheese melts.
