Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Cheese and Bread

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 loaf garlic bread

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the dish.
  2. Cook Beef and Onion: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion together until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 7-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to break up the meat.
  3. Add Seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper into the beef mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
  4. Prepare Bread Base: Place the garlic bread loaf on a baking sheet, creating the base for your sloppy joe topping.
  5. Assemble and Top: Spoon the savory beef mixture evenly over the garlic bread. Then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously on top.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the cheesy garlic bread sloppy joe bake hot for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add diced bell peppers or jalapeños to the beef mixture.
  • Use a crusty garlic bread to ensure it holds up well under the sloppy joe topping without becoming soggy.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
