Italian Garlic Bread Sloppy Joes Recipe 🥖

 

Ingredients:  

- 1 pound ground beef  

- 4 cloves garlic, minced  

- 1 medium onion, chopped  

- 1 bell pepper, chopped  

- 1 cup marinara sauce  

- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning  

- 1 teaspoon salt  

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper  

- 4 sub rolls or hoagie rolls  

- 4 tablespoons butter, softened  

- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese  

- Optional: Fresh basil for garnish  

Directions:  

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground

beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess

fat.  

2. Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and bell pepper

to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables

soften.  

3. Stir in the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and

black pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10

minutes, stirring occasionally.  

4. While the mixture simmers, preheat your oven to 400°F

(200°C). Slice the sub rolls in half lengthwise. Spread

butter on the cut sides and sprinkle with Parmesan

cheese.  

5. Place the rolls on a baking sheet and bake for 5

minutes until golden and crispy.  

6. Spoon the beef mixture onto the bottom halves of the

rolls, add fresh basil if desired, and top with the other

halves. Serve immediately.

Tips:  

- For a spicier version, add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper

flakes to the beef mixture.  

- Substitute ground turkey for beef to make it lighter, or

add sliced mushrooms for extra veggies.  

- Serve with a side of melted mozzarella on top for a

cheesier twist.
