Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese
Description
This Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese starts with lean ground beef browned in a skillet to develop a deep crust, then cooked with sautéed onions, green bell pepper, garlic, yellow mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, kosher salt, and black pepper until thick and saucy. Meanwhile, white bread slices are buttered and layered with American cheese. Half of the bread slices are topped with the meat mixture before sandwiching with cheese-topped slices.
The sandwiches are cooked in a medium-high heat cast iron pan or griddle until the bread is crispy with golden brown edges and the American cheese melts into the warm meat filling. The combination offers a balance of textures with tender, flavorful beef, creamy cheese, and crispy bread.
This recipe is well suited for a satisfying lunch or casual dinner, offering a twist on classic sloppy joe flavors with the comfort of grilled cheese.

- Spread the butter on one side of each of the 12 slices of bread.
- Butter side down on the cutting board.
- Add a slice of American Cheese to each of the slices.
