How to Store Leftovers:
Store leftovers in an air tight container for up to 4 days. When you are ready to serve again, I like to reheat in the oven to make the bread crispy again.
Recipe Variations:
- Change the Bread – We like the french bread, but you can make this recipe with Texas Toast.
- Lean Ground Beef – You can change the meat to ground turkey or use half turkey and half ground beef.
- Creamier Sauce – Add in a can of cream of mushroom soup for a creamier sauce.
Tips for Making Sloppy Joe French Bread Pizza:
- Cut Bread – We recommend slice the french bread in half lengthwise.
- Serving – We like to season the french bread with salt and pepper to taste.

I used my own sloppy joe recipe, which isn’t much different from this one, but this technique is what I was after. We really enjoyed it! Thanks!
Thank you!
Very tasty and easy weekday recipe ?
Yes, that would work great in this recipe!
Can you use tomato sauce instead of ketchup ??
I haven’t tried this but I think that it would freeze fine and then fully defrost before reheating. Thanks!
