Step 4: Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- 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
- Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Slice into thick, hearty portions.
- 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.
