Directions

1. For the Garlic Toast:
   Combine the butter and garlic in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the butter is melted.
   
   Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
   
   Remove from the heat and let sit 5 minutes.
   
   Preheat the broiler.
   
   Put the bread on a baking sheet and broil until both sides until lightly golden brown, about 1 minutes per side.
   
   Remove from the oven and brush them with the garlic butter.
   
   Transfer to a serving platter and set aside until ready to serve.
   
   For the Neat Joes:
   Heat the oil over high heat in a large high-sided sauté pan until the oil begins to smoke.
   
   Add the beef and pork, breaking it up unto small pieces using a metal spatula or wooden spoon, season with salt or pepper, to taste, and cook until golden brown.
   
    Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate.
   
    Drain off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the pan.
   
   Add the onion and celery and cook until soft, about 3 minutes.
   
   Add the bell peppers and garlic and cook for 1 minute.
   
   Add the BBQ sauce, 1/4 cup of water and the ketchup, brig to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes.
   
   Reduce the heat to medium-low, stir in the mustard, Worcestershire, honey, brown sugar, and molasses.
   
   Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
   
   Remove the cover, return the meat to the pan and continue cooking until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes longer.
   
   Add the vinegar, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and stir in the 1/2 cup or parsley or cilantro.
   
   Top slices of the garlic bread with some of the sloppy joe mixture, sprinkle with cilantro or parsley.
