This Garlic Bread Sloppy Joes recipe combines classic sloppy joe flavors with crispy, buttery garlic bread for a delicious twist on a comforting sandwich. Ground beef simmers in a flavorful tomato sauce, then is piled high on toasted garlic bread slices and topped with melted colby jack cheese for a perfect, hearty meal ready in just 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Meat Mixture

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Garlic Bread and Topping

  • 8 slices frozen garlic bread
  • 1 cup shredded colby jack cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the package of frozen garlic bread to ensure it cooks evenly and crisps nicely.
  2. Cook the beef: In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and return the beef to the pan.
  3. Prepare the sloppy joe sauce: Add the condensed tomato soup, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, onion powder, salt, and garlic powder to the browned beef. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for several minutes to meld the flavors and thicken slightly.
  4. Bake the garlic bread: While the beef simmers, place the frozen garlic bread slices on a baking sheet and bake according to package directions until golden and crispy.
  5. Assemble the sloppy joes: Remove the hot garlic bread from the oven carefully. Spoon approximately ¼ to ⅓ cup of the sloppy joe filling onto each slice of garlic bread.
  6. Add cheese and melt: Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded colby jack cheese over the sloppy joe topping on each piece of garlic bread. Return to the oven just long enough to melt the cheese, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve hot: Remove from the oven and serve immediately to enjoy the perfect combination of savory sloppy joe filling with crispy, cheesy garlic bread.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some chopped jalapeños to the beef mixture.
  • Use your favorite shredded cheese if colby jack is unavailable.
  • If you prefer less saucy sloppy joes, simmer the sauce a little longer to thicken more.
  • This recipe can be doubled easily to serve a larger group.
