Ingredients 🛒
Garlic Bread Base
1 loaf French bread or thick Texas toast
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese blend)
Sloppy Joe Mixture
1 lb ground beef
1/2 onion, finely diced
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup beef broth
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions 👩🍳
Prepare the Garlic Bread: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Spread evenly on each bread slice. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
Cook the Sloppy Joe Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess fat. Add ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Season with salt and pepper, then let simmer for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is thickened.
Assemble the Garlic Bread Sloppy Joes: Spoon the sloppy joe mixture generously over each garlic bread slice. Top with shredded cheese.
Bake: Return to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Garnish with extra parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious fusion of flavors!
