Garlic Bread Sloppy Joes
Ingredients:
Bread:
1 loaf Italian bread
½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon garlic salt
Sloppy Joe:
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, shredded
Parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the loaf of bread lengthwise into two halves. Place both halves of the bread onto the lined baking sheet, cut side up.
In a small bowl, combine the butter and garlic salt. Spread the butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread. Set aside while you make the sloppy joe filling.
Sloppy Joe: In a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onions until the beef is no longer pink (8-10 minutes). Drain grease. Stir in the garlic powder, mustard, ketchup, salt, pepper, and water, mixing until combined.
Assembly: Divide the sloppy joe mixture between both sides of the loaves and top with the mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
Cut into pieces and serve with parsley for garnish
