Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese Sandwich

[heart_this] · Apr 14, 2013 · 11 Comments

Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese

A grilled cheese sandwich with a sloppy joe filling; a truly sloppy grilled cheese sandwich!

My next grilled cheese sandwich for National Grilled Cheese Month combines two childhood favourites, sloppy joes and grilled cheese, for one really sloppy sandwich that’s kid approved! Sloppy Joes are a quick and easy meal consisting of ground meat in a sauce that’s served in a bun and as its name suggests it can be a little messy to eat. I figured that you really could not go wrong taking the filling of one already tasty sandwich and throwing it into a grilled cheese sandwich with plenty of ooey gooey melted cheese and golden brown, toasty and buttery bread! This is one of those cases where taking two things results in something that is greater than the sum of its part and this is one truly tasty grilled cheese sandwich! Like the sloppy joe, this grilled cheese can be a bit messy but it is definitely worth it! The next time you make sloppy joes, make extra for sloppy joe grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch the next day!

Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese
This sloppy joe grilled cheese goes well with coleslaw , corn chips and a pickle on the side.

Of course you could always throw the coleslaw into the sandwich!

With the coleslaw this sloppy joe grilled cheese gets even tastier but much messier! 🙂

    patti hearne: It is a Bavarian Light Rye which holds together really well for stuffed grilled cheese sandwiches like these! 🙂

    This looks SO DELICIOUS! Can’t wait to make these (with the cole slaw ON the sandwiches, of course)! Thanks for the recipe. This entry needs to be proofread. Lots of typos.
