How to Make Best Baked Sloppy Joes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef and 1 medium onion (chopped) over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the meat simmers, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix well.
- Brush the cut sides of 6 Kaiser rolls with the butter mixture.
- Place the bottom half of each Kaiser roll on a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Spread an even layer of the meat mixture over each roll bottom.
- Top with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese per roll.
- Replace the roll tops.
- Wrap each sandwich tightly in the foil.
- Place the foil-wrapped sandwiches on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
