Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 4 slices Bread
  • ½ cup Sloppy joe mix, prepared
  • ¼ cup Colby-Jack cheese, shredded
  • 5 tablespoons Butter

Instructions
 

  • Generously butter one side of each piece of bread using 1 tablespoon of butter per side.
  • Place ¼ cup of prepared sloppy joe mix on the plain side of one slice of bread, making sure the butter side is on the bottom facing out.
  • Top with ⅛ cup of shredded cheese.
  • Place the other slice of bread on top, making sure the butter side faces out.
  • Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
  • Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium high heat.
  • Melt remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet.
  • Place sandwich into skillet and grill until lightly browned on each side (about 2-3 minutes per side).
  • Serve immediately.

Christina's Notes

  • Bread: The perfect grilled cheese needs the perfect bread slice. Try using Texas toast bread to really up the flavor.
  • Melty Cheese: Stick with cheeses that have good flavor and melt nicely – Monterey Jack, Provolone, American cheese, or Brie. You could also try sharp cheddar cheese.
  • Golden Toast: The key to getting a crispy, golden toasted exterior is to use butter or mayonnaise.
  • Creative Sandwich: I used sloppy joes, but you can also use Buffalo Chicken Dip, my famous Hoagie Dip or even sloppy steak. Simply add your favorite cheese!
  • Short Cut: Instead of making sloppy joes from scratch using ingredients like ground beef, worcestershire sauce, ketchup and garlic powder, use a can of Manwich chili sauce!
