Ingredients

Scale

Sloppy Joe Mixture

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Bread and Toppings

  • 1 loaf of French bread
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the assembled bread.
  2. Cook the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Sauté vegetables: Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet and cook until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add seasonings: Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper. Let the mixture simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
  5. Prepare the bread: Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and lay both halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
  6. Spread ranch dressing: Evenly spread the ranch dressing over the cut sides of each half of the bread.
  7. Add sloppy joe topping: Spoon the cooked sloppy joe mixture evenly over the ranch-dressed bread halves.
  8. Top with cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the sloppy joe mixture on both bread halves.
  9. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly and slightly golden.
  10. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley to add color and freshness. Slice into portions and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • For extra crunch, toast the French bread slightly before assembling.
  • Add jalapeños or hot sauce if you prefer a spicy kick.
  • This dish can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving.
  • Storing leftovers in the refrigerator is best; reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
