Description
Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese is the ultimate comfort food mashup, blending the savory, tangy goodness of the Sloppy Joe with the melty, crunchy perfection of a grilled cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup diced onions
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon beef bouillon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 4 slices cheese (cheddar, American, or your choice)
- 4 slices Texas toast
- 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
Instructions
1. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease.
2. Add Flavor: Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is fragrant and the onions are translucent.
3. Simmer the Sauce: Add the tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, beef bouillon, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together well and let the mixture simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
4. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of Texas toast. Place one slice (mayo-side down) in a skillet, top with cheese slices, the Sloppy Joe mixture, more cheese slices, and finally, the remaining slice of bread (mayo-side up).
5. Grill to Perfection: Cook the sandwich over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until it’s golden brown and crispy on both sides, and the cheese is melted and gooey.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese and savor every bite of this comforting and delicious creation!
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, try sautéing the onions until they’re beautifully caramelized before adding them to the Sloppy Joe mixture.
If you’re a fan of a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the Sloppy Joe filling for a spicy twist.
