Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 cups spaghetti sauce more or less, depending on your preference
- 8 slices frozen garlic toast
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- Fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to the cooking temperature instructed on the box of garlic toast.
- Crumble the ground beef into a skillet and cook over medium-high heat until fully browned. Drain off the excess fat, then stir in the spaghetti sauce. Simmer the meat sauce for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the meat sauce is simmering, bake the garlic toast according to package directions until golden brown on both sides.
- Spoon the meat sauce on top of the garlic toast, then top with mozzarella cheese. Serve hot.
Notes
Variations
- Sausage - Instead of ground beef, try using Italian sausage. Buy it in a bulk roll or cut away the casings from Italian sausages, then crumble the meat into the pan and cook just like ground beef.
- Parmesan - Try adding a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to the sloppy joes just before serving.
- Italian seasoning - Sprinkle Italian seasoning blend over top of the cheese as it melts to really kick up the flavor.
