Spicy Sloppy Italian Joes! image

This is my version of open-faced sloppy joes. I probably make this 2-3 times a month...DH loves it so! To make this a fast, weeknight meal I use a sloppy joe packet and frozen Texas toast garlic bread slices with 5 cheeses(of course, you don't have to get the kind with cheese). You could also use a loaf of garlic bread and cut into large pieces after baking if you prefer. Enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 2 open faced italian joes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb ground beef or 1 lb Italian sausage
1/2 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 serrano peppers, minced (optional) or 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 (15 1/2 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (I use Classico Spicy Red Bell Pepper)
1 1/4 ounces sloppy joe seasoning mix
8 slices Texas toast thick bread, frozen (the garlic bread kind found in the frozen section)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bake Texas toast style garlic bread slices per package directions. (I like the kind with cheese!).
  • Brown meat (breaking up into crumbles), onion, peppers, and garlic in a large skillet over medium high heat until veggies are soft and meat is cooked through. Drain grease if necessary.
  • Add dry sloppy joe packet and spaghetti sauce to meat mixture. Stir well to combine.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Let sauce simmer until reduced to desired consistency, about 5-10 minutes (we like ours super saucy, so I only simmer about 5 min).
  • I serve these open-faced, so spoon sloppy joe mixture over baked garlic bread pieces and top with parmesan cheese.
