Garlic Bread Sloppy Joes
Garlic Bread Sloppy Joes transform classic sloppy joes by serving savory ground beef simmered in spaghetti sauce over crispy garlic bread toasted until golden and topped with melted mozzarella and fresh parsley. The garlic bread provides a flavorful, crunchy base contrasting with the saucy, tender meat, creating a hearty and satisfying meal that combines Italian-inspired ingredients with a comfort food favorite.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 2 cups spaghetti sauce more or less, depending on your preference
- 8 lices garlic bread frozen
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- parsley chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to the cooking temperature instructed on the box of garlic toast.
- Crumble the ground beef into a skillet and cook over medium-high heat until fully browned. Drain off the excess fat, then stir in the spaghetti sauce. Simmer the meat sauce for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the meat sauce is simmering, bake the garlic toast according to package directions until golden brown on both sides.
- Spoon the meat sauce on top of the garlic toast, then top with mozzarella cheese. Serve hot.
Notes
- For a different flavor, substitute Italian sausage for ground beef, removing casings if needed.
- Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top of the mozzarella to enhance cheesiness.
- Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the cheese as it melts to boost the Italian flavor.
