INSTRUCTIONS:

• 1st Step – Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). And In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
• 2nd Step – Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper to the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
• 3rd Step – Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded together and the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
• 4th Step – While the sloppy joe mixture is simmering, prepare the garlic bread. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter and minced garlic.
• 5th Step – Spread a generous amount of the garlic butter mixture onto each slice of French baguette.
• 6th Step – Place the garlic bread slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Toast in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is lightly golden and crispy around the edges.
• 7th Step – Remove the toasted garlic bread from the oven and top each slice with a spoonful of the prepared sloppy joe mixture.
• 8th Step – Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each open-faced sandwich.
• 9th Step – Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• 10th Step – Remove the open-faced cheesy sloppy joes from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy the irresistible combination of savory sloppy joe filling and gooey melted cheese atop crispy garlic bread slices.
