Ingredients
Scale
- Garlic Bread Base:
- 1 loaf Italian bread
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- Sloppy Joe Filling:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup yellow onion, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup water
- Topping:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Bread Base:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the Italian bread in half lengthwise and spread the softened butter evenly on both halves. Sprinkle with garlic salt. Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until toasted. Remove and set aside. - Cook the Sloppy Joe Filling:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until browned and softened, breaking the meat into crumbles. Drain excess fat and stir in garlic powder, mustard, ketchup, kosher salt, black pepper, and water. Simmer for 5 minutes to thicken. - Assemble and Bake:
Spoon the beef mixture evenly over the toasted bread halves. Top with shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Return to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. - Serve and Enjoy:
Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and slice into servings. Enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness!
