Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small, diced yellow onion
- 1 small, diced green bell pepper
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 loaf French bread
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the diced onion and green bell pepper until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the meat mixture simmers, slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and place the two halves cut-side up on a baking sheet.
Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
Top the Sloppy Joe mixture with the shredded mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly across both halves of the bread.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Optionally, sprinkle the finished bread with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Let the bread cool slightly, then slice into pieces and serve warm. Enjoy your Sloppy Joe Pizza Bread!
