Grilled Cheese and Sloppy Joes married together. This is so good y’all. During the fall I tend to either like long, slow-cooked meals or super quick and easy ones for those busy days.
Prep in Advance
This one is so simple to prepare in hardly any time at all. You can even make the sloppy joe part a few days in advance. Maybe on a Sunday evening so you already have a meal half made for the week.

What’s up with that? So instead I used a hearty white bread which I actually really like for grilled cheese because it holds up so well. Pepperidge Farm Hearty White is the one I buy.

What readers are saying
Turned out great. The only thing I changed was, I used bottled mustard, because I didn’t have any ground mustard in the house. Slapped on two pieces or Jewish rye, because that’s what I had in the house. Couldn’t have come out any better.
The sloppy joe mixture is a little sweet and it gets covered in melted ooey, gooey cheddar cheese. Use another type of cheese if you like. I like to use a lot of sloppy joe in relation to the cheese, but you can go heavier on the cheese and lighter on the sloppy joe.
And that golden, buttery crust on the bread!
Seriously yum y’all.
