Oven Baked 4-Ingredient Beef Garlic Bread Bites

Ingredients:

Step-By-Step Directions:

1. Preheat and prep: Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

2. Arrange the bread: Place the frozen garlic bread pieces in a single layer on the baking sheet, cutting them into 2-inch bite-sized squares if necessary.

3. Brown the beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and cooked through (about 6 to 8 minutes).

4. Drain and season: Drain off excess grease, then sprinkle the salt over the cooked beef and stir to combine.

5. Assemble the bites: Spoon the seasoned ground beef evenly over the top of each piece of garlic bread. Top generously with the shredded mozzarella cheese.

6. Bake until bubbly: Bake on the middle rack for 10 to 14 minutes until the garlic bread edges are golden and crisp and the cheese is fully melted. Tip: Broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end for extra golden-brown cheese.

7. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes so the cheese sets slightly before transferring to a platter and serving warm.
