Ingredients

  • Ground beef & sloppy joe sauce – or use my recipe for homemade sloppy joes
  • French bread – sliced in half lengthwise
  • Shredded cheese – I like to use a mix of cheddar & Monterey jack cheese
  • Garlic & onion – both minced, both optional

How do you make Sloppy Joe Pizza?

You can use canned sloppy joe sauce for this or you can use my homemade sloppy joe recipe.

  • Prepare your sloppy joe mix, whether you use homemade or store bought sauce.
  • Shred your cheese. I like to use half cheddar & half pepperjack & mix them together. You can substitute the pepperjack for monterey jack if you like.
  • Slice your french bread in half lengthwise.
  • Spread half of the sloppy joe meat mixture evenly between both halves of french bread.
  • Sprinkle with cheese. I like to use a lot of cheese!
  • Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
  • Slice, serve, & enjoy!

Sloppy Joe French Bread Pizza

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chuck
  • 1 can sloppy joe mix
  • 1 loaf french bread sliced in half lengthwise
  • 1 to 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 to 1.5 cups shredded pepperjack OR monterey jack cheese
  • chopped onion optional
  • minced garlic optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a skillet, brown your ground chuck. Add the onion to cook with it, if using. If you are using minced garlic, add it right before you add the sloppy joe mix to avoid bitterness.
  • Once the meat is browned, drain the excess grease. Stir in the can of sloppy joe mix & cook on medium/low for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Evenly spread half the sloppy joe/beef mixture each french bread half. Combine the two shredded cheeses & sprinkle on top.
  • Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
