Ingredients
  

For the Sloppy Joe Filling

Preparation
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and onion until the beef is cooked through and the onion is translucent.
  2. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, until heated through.

  5. Place the garlic bread on a baking sheet.
  6. Pile the sloppy joe mixture on top of each slice of garlic bread.

Notes

Pairs beautifully with a crisp green salad or coleslaw. Keep leftovers stored separately for best texture when reheating.
