Ingredients in a Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese

Filled with yummy spices and cheese, this sloppy Joe grilled cheese is delicious! You will never want to eat a sloppy Joe without cheese again! See the recipe card below for a list of exact measurements.

Olive oil: I use regular olive oil but if you only have vegetable oil on hand, you could use that too!Onion: Chop your onion up in fine pieces. Ground beef: I always like to go with lean ground beef to keep the fat content down. Garlic cloves: If you don’t have fresh cloves and only have minced garlic in your fridge, you could use that too! ½ tsp equals about 1 clove of garlic. Ketchup: This helps with the tangy taste.Brown sugar: The sugar calms down any heat that this takes on and gives it a deep, sweet flavor. Chili powder: There isn’t too much of this so the dish isn’t too spicy!Paprika: I absolutely love the subtle flavor that paprika brings to a dish. Worchestershire sauce: This sauce brings in a delicious flavor! Salt and pepper: Use these as much or little as you would like! Butter: It doesn’t take a lot of butter and this helps it not to stick.Mayonaise: If you haven’t cooked a grilled cheese with mayonnaise yet then you are in for a treat. It’s the BEST secret ingredient! French bread: You can use any bread that you have on hand but bakery french bread is my personal favorite!Cheddar cheese: This will stick it all together! The melted cheese combined with the meat is SOO good!!

How to Make a Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese

This meal is easy and delicious! It only takes a few minutes to make and it is so filling. Your family will go crazy over it!

How to avoid soggy bread: If you are having trouble getting that bread to crisp up just right, put it in the toaster first! Or toast both sides a bit in the pan before adding the cheese and meat. This dries the bread out and makes sure that it doesn’t end up soggy once you add all of the meat and cheese!If your sandwich is falling apart: Sometimes, when you cook a hot sandwich and go to eat it, half of it falls apart! To avoid this, you need to make sure that it’s coated with enough fat. In this case, that fat is the mayo and butter! Make sure that both sides are entirely coated with the mayo and butter. This will help your sandwich stay together and toast more evenly. How to avoid burning the bread: The tricky part about making the perfect hot sandwich is knowing when its ready to be flipped and cooked on the other side. For this sloppy Joe grilled cheese sandwich, each side should be golden brown by the time it’s ready to eat. To avoid burning it, turn down your heat. Cooking it slower and longer will get just the right crisp on the bread!

Refrigerator: Once your meat has cooled, place it in an airtight container and put it in your refrigerator. It can last for 2-4 days in your fridge! Reheat: You can just reheat your meat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Then, follow the recipe card for the instructions on how to make your sandwich. Everyone will be jealous of your delicious leftovers!
