  • Total Time: 29 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Bread

  • 1 loaf Italian bread
  • ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Sloppy Joe Filling

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ¼ cup yellow onion, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • ¾ cup (180 g) ketchup
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup water

Topping

  • 1 cup (113 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup (113 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Bread: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the Italian bread lengthwise into two halves and place them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with garlic salt. Spread this garlic butter generously over the cut sides of the bread, setting them aside to prepare the sloppy joe filling.
  3. Cook Sloppy Joe Filling: Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and chopped yellow onion, cooking until the beef is fully browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess grease from the skillet to reduce fat.
  4. Season Filling: Stir in garlic powder, yellow mustard, ketchup, kosher salt, black pepper, and water into the browned beef mixture. Mix well until everything is combined and heated through.
  5. Assemble Sandwiches: Spoon the sloppy joe mixture evenly over both halves of the garlic buttered bread. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and sharp cheddar cheese evenly on top of the sloppy joe filling.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the assembled garlic bread sloppy joes for 12-14 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown on top.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven, cut into pieces, and garnish with chopped parsley before serving warm for a hearty and flavorful meal.

Notes

  • Use Italian bread for a sturdy base that toasts well and holds the filling without getting soggy.
  • Drain the cooked beef mixture well to prevent greasy sloppy joes.
  • Feel free to use other cheese blends or add a bit of spicy mustard for extra flavor.
  • Garnish with parsley for a fresh pop of color and mild herbal notes.
  • To make it a little healthier, you can use ground turkey or lean beef instead of regular ground beef.
