  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Cook filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and onion until meat is browned and onion is soft. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add sauce: Stir in ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer 5–7 minutes until thickened.
  3. Prepare sandwiches: Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place cheese on the unbuttered side, then add a generous scoop of sloppy joe filling. Top with second slice of bread, buttered side out.
  4. Grill: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Grill sandwiches 3–4 minutes per side until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
  5. Serve: Slice in half and enjoy immediately while warm and gooey.

Notes

Use your favorite cheese blend for extra melty goodness. For a fun twist, add pickles or sautéed peppers inside.
