Sloppy Joes Garlic Bread (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Sloppy Joe Mixture

01 - 1 lb ground beef
02 - 1 medium onion, chopped
03 - 1 tablespoon minced garlic
04 - 8 oz can tomato sauce
05 - ¼ cup ketchup
06 - 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
07 - 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
08 - 1-2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

→ Seasonings and Assembly

09 - ½ teaspoon salt
10 - ½ teaspoon black pepper
11 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
12 - 1 teaspoon paprika
13 - 8 pieces frozen garlic bread
14 - 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven according to the garlic bread package directions. Bake the 8 pieces of frozen garlic bread following the package instructions until golden and crispy. Remove from oven but keep oven on.
02 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder, and paprika while cooking.
03 - Once the beef is browned and onion is soft, drain any excess grease. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
04 - Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, and BBQ sauce. Mix everything together well until the sauce coats all the meat evenly.
05 - Reduce heat to low and let the sloppy joe mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
06 - Place the baked garlic bread on a baking sheet. Top each piece with a generous scoop of the sloppy joe mixture, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles. Serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - The combination of garlic bread and sloppy joes creates the perfect comfort food mashup
02 - Use frozen garlic bread for convenience, or make your own with butter, garlic, and Italian bread
03 - The sauce should be thick enough to stay on the bread without making it soggy
04 - Serve with napkins - this delicious combination can get a little messy to eat!
