  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot, enjoying the rich combination of cheesy, savory sloppy joe flavors on garlic bread.

Notes

  • You can use any style of cheddar cheese, sharp or mild, to suit your taste preference.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes or smoked paprika into the beef mixture.
  • Leftover sloppy joe mixture can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated for a quick meal.
  • Substitute the loaf of garlic bread with baguette slices for individual servings.
  • To make this dish milder, reduce the mustard to 1/2 teaspoon or omit it altogether.
