Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese

WHY did I never think of this before??  I like sloppy joes.  I LOVE grilled cheese.  Perfect combo!  Thank you Pinterest for feeding my comfort food obsession!

 So.  I did not use a nonstick pan. VERY BAD IDEA.  This sucker will stick and stick HARD.  That is why the bottom piece looks a bit wonky.  But this sandwich was SO rocking I still posted it.  Yeah...it is THAT good.

Ingredients:
  • buns
  • cheddar - shredded
  • salted butter
  • sloppy joe meat at room temperature
Tools necessary:
  • NONSTICK PAN
  • straw
  • spatula
Directions:
 1.  Get your bun.  The original recipe used brioche.  My husband bought these.  Don't 
      know what type they are, but you get the idea.  Large thick buns.
2.  Slice the bun in half and then on the top part, cut off the very top.  Make sense? Eat 
     or discard the top. You want the bottom and the middle.
3.  Get your straw and poke holes in it.  Lots and lots of little tiny straw holes. Poke them
     in the top and bottom.  This is where the cheese will leak out of.  The more holes, the
     better.
4.  Top with cheese.
5.  Then meat on top and then more cheese.
6.  Then you want to take the bottom part of the bun and flip it over.  So the soft inside
     is on top, make sense?
7.  Butter both sides of the bread and put it on the pan.  You want to cook it on LOW 
    heat.Slowly brown it and the cheddar cheese will squirt out the holes and make the 
    bread have a crispy cheese crust on it.  NOM NOM NOM.  Each side will take about 7 
    minutes.This is definitely a knife and fork sandwich.


Enjoy!
