Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Grilled cheese sandwiches are comfort food for me!!! The cooler weather is finally in Washington after such a  hot summer!! John was craving some of my Tomato Basil Soup so I whipped these up Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese sandwiches up for him to have with a batch of soup!

John was skeptical how well sloppy joes in a grilled cheese would work but like usual he loved the meal!!

Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

There is just something so comforting about anything made with Sloppy Joes. My friend Brett from This Mama Loves makes Sloppy Joes stuffed peppers and they look amazing.

Growing up I always looked forward to Sloppy Joe night for dinner. There is just something about having dinner with the word sloppy in it.

As a kid, it makes you think about food fights and making a mess. As an adult, it just feels like you get to be a kid again for a few minutes.

Ingredients

• 8 slices Bread
• 2 Cup Sloppy Joe’s
• 4 slices American cheese

Instructions

•  Sloppy Joe mix is homemade and EASY – 1 pound of ground beef browned and drained, ¼ C. of organic ketchup (more or less to taste). 2 tsp. of mustard and 1 tsp. of brown sugar.
• Preheat a medium-size frying pan (or griddle) or medium heat. Generously butter the outsides of your bread slices. Lay 2 slices of the bread butter side down and top with 1 slice of cheese.

• Carefully flip when browned and allow the other bread slices to brown evenly on the other side.
•  Remove from the pan and let set a minute or 2 and cut each sandwich in half. Serve by itself or with chips or soup to make a meal.
