I hadn't eaten Sloppy Joes for ages, until very recently. Remarkably, there was a bit of the filling left over - how'd that happen? That never happens!
But this time, it did.
Sure, I could've made one more of the same ol' same ol' ... but why? Why not spiff it up a bit, make it extra ooey, gooey, messy, and delicious?
And thus, the Grilled Cheese Sloppy Joe Sandwich!
Grilled Cheese Sloppy Joe Sandwich
2 slices sourdough bread
schmear of brown mustard, to taste
very thin slices of red onion, to taste
2 slices Pepper Jack cheese
2/3 cup leftover Sloppy Joe beef
Schmear butter on outsides of bread; lay butter-side down onto a plate. Schmear insides of bread with mustard, and top with cheese and onion.
Spread beef onto one piece of bread, then carefully top with the other piece to make the sandwich.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwich for several minutes per side until the outside is golden and the cheese has melted.
Makes 1 large sandwich.
Two good sandwiches combined into one amazing sandwich?? I'll take two please!!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks good! What a great idea. I've gotta try that.
ReplyDeleteThat's genius! It looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I have actually made that, but didn't grill it. I can see that the grilling would add another important dimension. Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteWe are in the middle of a serious grilled cheese obsession at this house. We had made them about 10 different ways in the last two weeks. Adding these to the list!
ReplyDeleteThat looks stupendous! Sloppy joe, slop sloppy joe....
