Instructions
Sloppy Joe
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onions until the beef is no longer pink. Drain grease if needed.
- Stir in the ketchup, water, brown sugar, mustard, and garlic powder, mixing until combined. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the brown sugar is dissolved and the mixture is bubbly.
Grilled Cheese
- Preheat a separate large skillet over medium-low heat.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Working one or two at a time, depending on the size of the skillet, add bread, buttered side down to the skillet. While the bread is cooking, top it with a slice of cheese, ½ cup sloppy joe mixture, and another slice of cheese. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side up.
- Cook over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes; then, flip over the sandwich and cook another 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Use a spatula to remove from the skillet.
- Serve warm.
