For the Sloppy Joe:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup yellow onion, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

- 3/4 cup (180 g) ketchup
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. -
Prepare the Garlic Bread:
Slice the loaf of Italian bread lengthwise into two halves. Place both halves, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter and garlic salt. Spread this mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread. Set aside. -
Make the Sloppy Joe Filling:
In a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion 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. Mix well until everything is combined. Simmer for a few minutes until the sloppy joe mixture thickens. -
Assemble the Garlic Bread Sloppy Joes:
Spoon the sloppy joe mixture evenly over both halves of the garlic bread. Top with the shredded mozzarella and sharp cheddar cheese. -
Bake:
Place the assembled bread in the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown. -
Serve:
Remove from the oven, cut into pieces, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- To make this recipe in an air fryer, follow the steps until baking. Instead of placing the bread in the oven, air fry the assembled garlic bread sloppy joes at 400°F for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
