Ingredients
– 1 pound lean ground beef provides the main protein base
– Β½ cup finely diced onion adds sweetness and depth
– 15 ounces sloppy joe sauce (or 1 batch homemade sauce) creates the tangy, flavorful sauce
– 6 pieces frozen thick-sliced garlic bread offers the crispy, buttery base
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese melts on top for gooey goodness
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 425Β°F to get everything ready for baking. Cook the 1 pound of lean ground beef and Β½ cup of finely diced onion in a skillet over medium heat until the beef is no longer pink, then drain any excess fat to keep things light. Add the 15 ounces of sloppy joe sauce to the beef mixture and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes to blend those classic flavors.
2-Finishing Touches and Baking: While the mixture simmers, place the 6 pieces of frozen thick-sliced garlic bread on a baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes until theyβre golden and crispy. Top each piece with the sloppy joe mixture and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, then bake for another 5 minutes or until the cheese melts perfectly. For an extra quick melt, you can broil it for 1 minute at the end.
