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
- Preheat oven: Preheat the oven according to the instructions on the package of frozen garlic bread to ensure even toasting when baking.
- Brown the beef: In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and return the beef to the skillet.
- Prepare 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 gently for a few minutes to combine flavors and thicken slightly.
- Bake garlic bread: Place the frozen garlic bread slices on a baking sheet and bake according to package directions until golden and crisp.
- Assemble sloppy joes: Carefully remove the baked garlic bread from the oven. Spoon approximately ¼ to ⅓ cup of the sloppy joe beef mixture onto each slice.
- Add cheese and melt: Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded Colby Jack cheese over the beef-topped garlic bread slices. Return the baking sheet to the oven and heat briefly just until the cheese melts, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve immediately: Remove from oven and serve warm for a delicious, cheesy twist on sloppy joes.
Notes
- You can substitute Colby Jack cheese with cheddar or mozzarella for different flavor profiles.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the meat mixture.
- Drain the ground beef fat well before adding the sauce to avoid soggy garlic bread.
- Use fresh garlic bread if desired but adjust baking time as needed.
