Detailed Directions and Instructions
Prepare the Ground Beef
Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, stirring occasionally to break up the meat, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Add Onions and Garlic
Once the beef is browned, add diced onions and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Incorporate Tomato Sauce
Pour in the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients and let it simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Prepare the Garlic Bread
While the meat mixture simmers, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the French bread in half lengthwise and spread softened butter evenly on each half. Sprinkle minced garlic and parsley over the butter.
Bake the Garlic Bread
Place the prepared garlic bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
Assemble the Sloppy Joes
Once the meat mixture is ready and the garlic bread is baked, spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto the cut side of the garlic bread halves.
Serve the Sloppy Joes
Serve the garlic bread sloppy joes warm, cut into individual servings if desired, and enjoy!
