Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese

I stumbled on this recipe while scrolling Instagram and immediately thought it looked good. Even though the boys in my family are very loyal to Manwich when it comes to sloppy joes, I've been more than ready to try something new and this looked like the perfect opportunity to do so. Here's the recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 chopped onion
• 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper
• 1 tsp onion powder and paprika
• 1 TBSP minced garlic
• 1-2 TBSP Worcestershire
• 8 oz can of tomato sauce
• 1/4 cup of ketchup
• 1 TBSP of mustard
• 2 TBSP of BBQ sauce
• Brioche Buns
• Butter or Mayo
• American Cheese slices

Instructions

• Brown the ground beef and a chopped onion in a skillet or on the griddle over medium high heat and add all seasonings.
• Once the ground beef is fully cooked drain any extra grease. Add minced garlic, Worcestershire, tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, and bbq sauce. Stir well.
• Let simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes. Spread a little bit of butter or mayo on the insides of the buns.
• Toast the buns over medium heat until golden brown. For the grilled cheese aspect make sure to assemble them with the toasted side of the buns out.
• Add American cheese to the bottom bun, top with a scoop of the sloppy Joe mix, and add one more piece of cheese on top. Place the top bun on (toasted side out). Enjoy!!

Notes

This recipe makes enough for 6 Sloppy Joe Grilled cheese. 

It was SO good! My husband was skeptical when he first heard what I was making because he loves his Manwich, but once he saw these sandwiches in front of him I could practically see the hearts in his eyes. Ha! And he LOVED them. Everyone did actually. I went easy on the sauce and onions but stuck to the recipe pretty closely. I doubled the recipe because I wanted to be sure I had enough and I also wanted some leftovers. I served them with fries. And, I will definitely be making them again!
