Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 slices of bread
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 8 slices cheddar or American cheese

Instructions

  • Cook the sloppy joe filling:
    In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with diced onion and minced garlic, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  • Add the sauce:
    Stir in ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, tomato sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Assemble the grilled cheese:
    Butter one side of each bread slice. Place a slice of cheese on the unbuttered side of half of the bread slices. Spoon a generous portion of sloppy joe mixture over the cheese, then top with another slice of cheese. Cover with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.
  • Grill the sandwiches:
    Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grill the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
  • Serve hot:
    Slice and enjoy your Grilled Cheese Sloppy Joes with your favorite sides like fries or a side salad.

Notes

  • Add a little spice by stirring in some hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the sloppy joe filling.
  • You can use different cheeses like provolone or pepper jack for extra flavor.
