Our sloppy joe grilled cheese is the ultimate treat. It might be a little on the unhealthy side, but it’s incredibly delicious. Made with a combination of ground beef, our homemade sloppy joe sauce, and cheddar cheese, the taste is simply out of this world.This sloppy joe with cheese and bacon is the ultimate sandwich everybody love.
As always, there are a few tips to making this wonderful sloppy joe sandwich. First off, the ketchup is an essential component to the sloppy joe mixture. I like French’s, but you can use the ketchup of your choice. Secondly is the cheese. We use sliced marble cheddar. This is not the processed cheese but rather the real cheese slices. As the recipe is a grilled cheese sandwich, it is of upmost important that a good cheese is used. Shredded cheese also does a great job. In essence, use the cheese of your choice.
I use a lean ground beef which is never really lean. There is always a great deal of fat that fried off the beef. In light of this, I drain about 70 percent of the fat off before adding any other ingredients.
