Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Mix the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on both sides of the bread slices.
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy. Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the garlic bread during the last few minutes of baking for an extra cheesy touch.
Make the Sloppy Joe Filling:
While the garlic bread is baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef (or turkey) and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar, chili powder, and beef broth. Mix well to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and becomes saucy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Garlic Bread Sloppy Joes:
Once the garlic bread is ready and the Sloppy Joe filling is thickened, spoon the filling generously onto the garlic bread slices.
Serve immediately, enjoying the crispy, flavorful garlic bread topped with the savory, saucy ground meat mixture.
Serve:
Serve your Garlic Bread Sloppy Joes with a side of crispy fries, a simple salad, or even some pickles for a balanced meal. Enjoy!
