Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set aside.

Remove your loaf of garlic bread from the freezer to allow it to thaw while you prepare the sloppy Joe mixture.

In a large skillet, on medium-high heat, add the unsalted butter and chopped onions. Saute the onions until soft and translucent.

Add the lean ground beef to the skillet and brown the meat for 5-6 minutes or until fully cooked and no pink remains. Drain any excess fat and liquids from the skillet.

To the skillet of browned ground beef and onions, on medium heat-low heat, add the sloppy Joe sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir and simmer the sloppy Joe mixture for 5 minutes.

While your sauce is simmering, remove the loaf of garlic bread from the wrapper and open the loaf. You may need to use a butter knife to help separate the two sides of the loaf. Place both sides of the garlic bread, butter side up, onto the prepared baking sheet.

Divide the sloppy Joe mixture evenly between the two pieces of garlic loaf. Be sure to spread the mixture out into an even layer.

Top each of the loaves with 1 cup of the shredded Colby jack cheese.

Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Allow the sloppy Joe loaves to cool slightly before garnishing with optional chopped fresh parsley and slicing the bread into 2-inch wide breadsticks.
