Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). In a bowl, combine the softened butter with the chopped garlic and season with salt and pepper. Slice the baguette or ciabatta bread lengthwise and spread the garlic butter evenly over the cut sides. Sprinkle the bread generously with the grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly golden brown.
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the onion, green bell pepper, and garlic and continue cooking until the vegetables are tender. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until thickened.
“` Remove the cheesy garlic bread from the oven and cut it into pieces. Spread a generous portion of the sloppy joe mixture on the burger buns and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve the sloppy joes with the cheesy garlic bread and enjoy this delicious combination!
