Sloppy Joe Breadsticks transform the classic sandwich filling into a playful appetizer or perfect game day treat. Simply spread the savory meat mixture over a bread loaf, top with melted cheese, and bake until hot and bubbly!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounce frozen garlic bread loaf thawed (Pepperidge Farms brand)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • ½ cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 15 ounce can of sloppy Joe sauce Manwich Original brand
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cup shredded Colby jack cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set aside.
  2. Take your frozen garlic bread out of the freezer to thaw while you prepare the sloppy Joe filling.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high, melt the butter, and cook the chopped onions until they become soft and translucent.
  4. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook for 5–6 minutes, breaking it apart, until fully browned and no pink remains. Drain any excess fat.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the sloppy Joe sauce, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes.
  6. While the sauce simmers, unwrap the garlic bread and separate the two halves. Place them, buttered side up, onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Evenly spread the sloppy Joe mixture over each half of the garlic bread.
  8. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Colby Jack cheese over each loaf, covering the meat mixture.
  9. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
  10. Remove from the oven and let the bread cool slightly. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, then slice into 2-inch-wide breadsticks and serve.
