Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 4 slices of sourdough or Texas toast
- 2 tbsp butter (for grilling)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat, then add chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 3 minutes).
- Stir in ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer on low heat for 5 minutes to meld flavors.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread. In a clean skillet over medium heat, place one slice butter-side down. Add a generous amount of Sloppy Joe filling and top with cheddar cheese. Cover with another slice of bread, butter-side up.
- Grill each side for about 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Press gently to ensure even melting, flipping carefully to avoid spilling filling.
- Once both sides are golden and cheese has melted, remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before slicing in half. Serve with your favorite sides.
