Ingredients
For the Filling:
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced 
1 cup ketchup 
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp mustard
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Bake:
1 can (14 oz) refrigerated garlic bread (or 1 loaf frozen garlic bread) 
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional) 
Instructions
Prepare the Sloppy Joe Filling:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and well combined.
Assemble the Bake:
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Arrange the garlic bread slices in a single layer at the bottom of the dish, trimming them if necessary to fit.
Spread the Sloppy Joe mixture evenly over the garlic bread.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the garlic bread is golden brown around the edges.
Serve:
Remove from the oven and let the bake cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, for a pop of color and flavor.
Slice into portions and serve hot.
