Ingredients
Scale
Meat Mixture
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup Sloppy Joe sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Assembly
- 4 slices garlic bread
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is ready to melt the cheese perfectly on the garlic bread.
- Cook Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks to ensure even browning and texture.
- Add Sloppy Joe Sauce: Stir in the Sloppy Joe sauce with the browned beef and cook until the mixture is heated through and well combined.
- Prepare Garlic Bread: Place the garlic bread slices on a baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer for even baking.
- Assemble Melts: Spoon the hot sloppy joe beef mixture generously over each slice of garlic bread, covering the surface evenly.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top of the beef mixture on each slice to ensure a melty topping.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and starting to turn golden brown.
Notes
- Use your favorite Sloppy Joe sauce brand or homemade sauce for a personalized flavor.
- For extra crispiness, broil the melts for 1-2 minutes after baking to brown the cheese topping.
- Try using different cheeses such as mozzarella, cheddar, or provolone for variation.
- Serve hot for the best taste and texture.
- Can be paired with a simple salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
