Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease a 6-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

  4. 4

    Add the mustard powder, pepper, and salt. Stir to combine, then add the tomato sauce, and cook for 5 minutes until liquid is cooked down.

  5. 5

    Add the Worcestershire sauce and ketchup and cook for 10 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove the pan from the heat.

  6. 6

    Slice the crusts off the bread. Quarter 2 of the slices to make small squares, leaving the remaining 6 slices whole.

  7. 7

    Press the whole slices of bread into the cups of the greased muffin tin, and brush with melted butter. Add 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese to each cup, and top with a quartered piece of bread. Brush the bread with melted butter.

  8. 8

    Bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese melted.

  9. 9

    Scoop 2 tablespoons of sloppy joe mixture into each cup, and top with another tablespoon of cheddar.

  10. 10

    Bake for another 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the cups are firm.

    Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
