Description
Spaghetti Garlic Bread is a baked Italian bread loaf stuffed with cheesy spaghetti, seasoned beef and sausage meat sauce, and topped with melted Parmesan and Mozzarella for a hearty, family-style dinner.
Ingredients
16 ounce Italian bread loaf
Butter (for brushing)
Garlic powder (for sprinkling)
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground sausage
16 ounce tomato sauce
6 ounce tomato paste
1 medium onion, diced
7 ounce uncooked spaghetti
½ cup Parmesan cheese, divided
⅔ cup Mozzarella cheese, divided
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt plus a pinch
½ teaspoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Boil spaghetti in a large pot until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Brown ground beef and sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, adding diced onion while cooking.
Drain excess fat and return meat mixture to the skillet.
Stir in tomato sauce, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5–8 minutes.
Add cooked spaghetti to the meat sauce and mix well. Remove from heat.
Slice the Italian bread loaf in half lengthwise and hollow out the center of each half.
Brush the inside of the bread with butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.
Toast the bread halves in the oven until lightly crisp.
Fill each hollowed loaf with the spaghetti and meat sauce mixture.
Top with divided Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 15–20 minutes until cheese melts and turns golden.
Remove from oven, allow to rest briefly, slice, and serve.
Notes
You will have leftover spaghetti and meat sauce after filling the bread.
Freeze the extra sauce for a future meal or use it to make an additional garlic bread boat.
