Ingredients:
– 1 loaf of thawed frozen garlic bread (10 ounces)
– 1 pound of lean ground beef
– ½ cup of chopped onion
– 2 cups of shredded Colby Jack cheese
– 15-ounce can of Sloppy Joe sauce
– 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes softened and translucent.
3. Incorporate the lean ground beef into the skillet and cook until it’s browned, ensuring to drain any excess fat, if necessary.
4. Stir in the Sloppy Joe sauce, season with salt and pepper to taste, and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until it’s thoroughly heated through.
5. While the meat mixture simmers, take the thawed garlic bread loaf and slice it horizontally in half.
6. Place the two garlic bread halves on a baking sheet, ready for the next step.
7. Spoon the flavorful Sloppy Joe mixture evenly over each of the garlic bread halves, creating a generous topping. Then, sprinkle the 2 cups of shredded Colby Jack cheese on top of the Sloppy Joe layer.
8. Slide the prepared baking sheet into the preheated oven and let it bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the cheese turns beautifully melted and slightly bubbly.
9. Once the Sloppy Joe Garlic Bread has been baked to perfection, remove it from the oven, slice it into servings, and serve it piping hot as a satisfying and delectable meal that’s sure to please your taste buds.
