Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese
Buttery grilled cheese sandwiches stuffed with a sweet-and-savory sloppy joe beef filling.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- kosher salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4 tbsp butter for bread
- 8 slices sandwich bread
- 2 cups shredded cheddar
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain fat.
- Return beef mixture to the skillet over medium heat. Stir in ketchup, garlic, brown sugar, mustard, and chili powder; season with salt and pepper. Simmer until thick, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and wipe the skillet clean.
- Butter one side of each bread slice. Place one slice butter-side down in the skillet, spoon on sloppy joe mixture, top with cheddar and another slice of bread butter-side up.
- Cook over medium heat until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat to make 4 sandwiches.
