 Garlic Bread Sloppy Joes ๐Ÿง„๐Ÿž๐Ÿฅช




Get ready for a flavor-packed, cheesy twist on a classic favorite! This isn't your average Sloppy Joe—it's served on crispy, buttery garlic bread. Let's dive into the deliciousness!

Ingredients:

For the Garlic Bread:

  • 1 loaf of Italian bread (ready to be transformed!)
  • ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, softened (so creamy)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt (because garlic makes everything better)

For the Sloppy Joe:

  • 1 pound ground beef (or go wild with your fave protein)
  • ¼ cup yellow onion, chopped (bringing the flavor punch)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (extra garlic? Yes, please!)
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard (for that zesty kick)
  • ¾ cup (180 g) ketchup (the sweet & tangy magic sauce)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup water (to keep things juicy)

For Topping:

  • 1 cup (113 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded (stretchy cheese dreams)
  • 1 cup (113 g) sharp cheddar, shredded (sharp and bold)
  • Parsley, chopped (fancy garnish vibes)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Party Time: Fire up your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to catch all the goodness.

  2. Garlic Bread Love: Slice your Italian loaf lengthwise into two heroic halves. Place these bad boys cut-side up on your baking sheet. Mix your softened butter with garlic salt and generously spread it all over those bread halves. Set aside for now—things are about to get even better!

  3. Sloppy Joe Madness: In a medium skillet, cook up your ground beef and onions over medium heat until the beef is perfectly browned (8-10 minutes). Drain the grease (bye-bye, extra fat!). Add in garlic powder, mustard, ketchup, salt, pepper, and water. Stir it all together until it's a saucy, savory masterpiece.

  4. Let's Build: Spoon that flavorful sloppy joe mixture onto your garlic bread halves. Pile on the shredded mozzarella and cheddar because...cheese, obviously!

  5. Baking Bliss: Pop your loaded garlic bread into the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes until golden, bubbly, and too tempting to resist.

  6. Final Touches: Slice it up, sprinkle with parsley for a touch of green flair, and dig in. Get ready to have everyone asking for seconds!

Enjoy the ultimate combo of garlic bread and Sloppy Joe in every bite!
