Instructions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.
Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the beef mixture. Stir until the cheese melts and combines fully into the sauce.
Brush the toasted garlic bread slices with melted butter. Spoon the cheesy sloppy joe mixture over the garlic bread slices. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Add extra red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to make it spicier.

Experiment with different cheeses, such as pepper jack or provolone, for a unique flavor.

For a vegetarian version, use plant-based ground meat or lentils.

Substitute the garlic bread with crusty French bread or slider buns for a different texture.
