Ingredients:
For the Sloppy Joe Topping:
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup tomato sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Pizza Melts:
6 English muffins, sliced in half
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley or basil for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or foil.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
Add onion and garlic, then sauté until soft and fragrant.
Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10–15 minutes until thick and flavorful.
Place English muffin halves on the baking tray. Spoon the sloppy joe mixture evenly over each piece.
Top generously with mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan cheese.
Bake for 8–12 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
Garnish with fresh parsley or basil and serve warm.
Pro Tips:
Toast English muffins lightly before adding toppings for extra crunch.
Add pepperoni slices for a true pizza-style version.
Make extra sloppy joe filling and freeze it for quick meals later.
