  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 TBSP minced garlic

  • 2 TBSP BBQ sauce
For Assembly

  • 1 8- count box of garlic bread toast

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Bake garlic bread in the oven following package directions. For extra crispiness, bake on a wire rack.
  2. While garlic bread bakes, brown ground beef and chopped onion in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add salt, pepper, onion powder, and paprika. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Stir in minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, and BBQ sauce. Mix well, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  4. Spoon the sloppy joe mixture evenly over the baked garlic bread. Top generously with shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Return to the oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, and bread edges are golden brown.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the sloppy joe mixture.
Finely diced bell peppers, carrots, or celery can be added to the meat mixture for extra vegetables.
The sloppy joe mixture can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3-4 days.
Experiment with different types of bread like Texas toast or hoagie rolls, and various cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack.
