Ingredients
Sloppy Joe
- 1 pound ground beef
- ¼ cup yellow onion, finely diced
- ¾ cup ketchup
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Grilled Cheese
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, softened and divided
- 10 slices Texas toast
- 10 slices sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
Sloppy Joe
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onions until the beef is no longer pink. Drain any excess grease if needed.
- Stir in the ketchup, water, brown sugar, mustard, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the brown sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes slightly thick and bubbly.
Grilled Cheese
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-low heat.
- Butter one side of each slice of Texas toast.
- Working one or two sandwiches at a time, place a slice of bread butter-side down in the skillet. Top with a slice of cheddar cheese, about ½ cup of sloppy joe mixture, and another slice of cheese.
- Place a second slice of bread on top, butter-side up.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook another 3-5 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the skillet and serve warm.
