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.
