Sloppy Joe Garlic Bread

INGREDIENTS:

1 frozen garlic bread loaf (10 ounces), thawed

1 pound lean ground beef

½ cup chopped onion

2 cups shredded cheese (Colby jack recommended)

1 can (15-ounce) sloppy Joe sauce

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to a welcoming 375°F (190°C).

In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat, sautéing the chopped onion until it softens.

Introduce the ground beef to the skillet, cooking until it achieves a rich brown hue. Drain any excess fat, if desired.

Envelop the beef with the sloppy Joe sauce, a sprinkle of salt, and a dash of pepper, allowing it to gently simmer and blend the flavors.

Meanwhile, gently split the thawed garlic bread loaf into two halves, placing them on a baking sheet.

Ladle the sloppy Joe mixture onto each garlic bread half, finishing with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese …
