Ingredients
Bread
- ▢1 loaf Italian bread
- ▢½ cup 1 stick / 113 g unsalted butter, softened
- ▢1 teaspoon garlic salt
Sloppy Joe
- ▢1 pound ground beef
- ▢¼ cup yellow onion chopped
- ▢½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ▢1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- ▢¾ cup 180 g ketchup
- ▢½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ▢¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ▢½ cup water
Topping
- ▢1 cup 113 g mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ▢1 cup 113 g sharp cheddar, shredded
- ▢parsley chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F* and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the loaf of bread lengthwise into two halves. Place both halves on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter and garlic salt. Spread the butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread. Set aside while preparing the sloppy joe filling.
For the Sloppy Joe filling:
- In a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onions until the beef is browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease. Stir in the garlic powder, mustard, ketchup, salt, pepper, and water, mixing everything together until well combined.
For assembly:
- Evenly distribute the sloppy joe mixture between the two halves of bread. Top each with the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Cut into pieces and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
