Garlic Toast Sloppy Joes (Print Version)

Ingredients:

01 - 1 pound ground beef.
02 - Kosher salt to taste.
03 - Ground black pepper to taste.
04 - 2 cups spaghetti sauce (adjust to taste).
05 - Italian seasoning to taste (optional).
06 - 8 slices frozen garlic toast.
07 - 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded.
08 - Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish.

Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the garlic toast package.
02 - While the oven is preheating, crumble the ground beef into a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Season with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
03 - Stir in the spaghetti sauce and, if desired, add Italian seasoning to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue simmering for another 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened.
04 - Bake the garlic toast according to the package instructions until golden and crispy.
05 - Once the garlic toast is ready, spoon the meat mixture generously over each slice of toast. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
06 - Return the topped garlic toast to the oven and turn on the broiler. Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
07 - Serve the Open-Faced Garlic Toast Sloppy Joes hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
