Description

A delicious twist on classic Sloppy Joes, this Cheesy Sloppy Joe Garlic Bread combines savory flavors with crunchy garlic bread topped with gooey cheese.

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground beef

1 onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup Sloppy Joe sauce

1 loaf hoagie rolls or French baguette

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

4 tbsp butter, softened

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil and toss in finely chopped onions. Sauté until they turn translucent — about 5 minutes. Then, add minced garlic and continue to sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until it’s browned, about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the beef is browned, lower the heat and pour in your Sloppy Joe sauce. Stir well to combine everything and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
While the sauce simmers, slice your bread lengthwise and place it on a baking sheet. Spread softened butter generously on both halves of the bread.
Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture onto the bread, ensuring an even layer. Top with shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove the bread from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Cut into pieces and serve hot.

Notes

For a healthier alternative, try ground turkey or lentils instead of beef, and use whole grain bread for extra fiber.
