Ingredients
1 loaf frozen garlic bread
1 pound (450 g) ground beef
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
Bake the garlic bread according to the package directions until lightly golden and crisp.
While the bread is baking, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned. Drain any excess grease and stir in the Italian seasoning.
Remove the garlic bread from the oven and cut it into bite-sized squares or slices.
Evenly distribute the cooked beef over each piece of garlic bread.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese generously on top.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
Pair with a fresh garden salad for a simple meal.
Tips for Success
Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease.
