Method
 

Preparation

Garlic Bread Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, and parsley. Spread this mixture generously on the hoagie rolls.
Baking and Assembling
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the buttered rolls on a baking sheet and bake for about 5-7 minutes until golden and toasty.
  2. Remove the rolls from the oven, spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto each roll, and serve immediately.

Notes

Customize the meat or try a meatless version with lentils. For added spice, mix in hot sauce or jalapeños. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
