Cheesy Sloppy Joe Garlic Bread

Step 4: Bake

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
2. For an extra golden top, switch the oven to broil for the last 2–3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool slightly.
2. Slice into thick, hearty portions.
3. Optionally, garnish with pickles, jalapeños, or extra parsley. Serve hot and enjoy the gooey, savory, and garlicky goodness.

Tips for Perfect Cheesy Sloppy Joe Garlic Bread

• Bread choice matters: A sturdy French or Italian loaf works best. Avoid soft sandwich bread as it may get soggy.
• Cheese blend: A combination of cheddar for flavor and mozzarella for stretchiness creates the ultimate melty experience.
• Make-ahead option: You can prepare the Sloppy Joe filling a day in advance. Reheat before assembling the garlic bread for faster cooking.
• Spicy twist: Add a few dashes of hot sauce to the filling or sprinkle chili flakes on top before baking.
