sloppy joe grilled cheese
My family loves sloppy joes but I prefer to make them from scratch. I always have the ingredients on hand and don't have to rely on a can. This recipe takes it to the next level by turning them into toasty grilled cheese sandwiches. You can absolutely use this sloppy joe mixture for regular joes on buns but making them grilled is sublime.
