# Ingredients:
01 -
4 tablespoons butter, softened

12 slices white bread

Prepared Sloppy Joe meat mixture
04 -
12 slices American cheese
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat.
02 -
Butter one side of each piece of bread. Place one slice of bread into the skillet, butter side down. Top the bread slice with one slice of cheese. Scoop about 1/6th of the Sloppy Joe meat mixture evenly over the top of the cheese. Top the meat mixture with another slice of cheese, then another slice of buttered bread with the butter side facing up.
03 -
Cook the bread until it begins to turn golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwich over and cook until golden brown on the second side.

Remove the sandwich to a cutting board and cut it in half, if desired.
05 -
Repeat the process with the remaining bread, cheese, and Sloppy Joe meat mixture.

# Tips:
01 -
Make this recipe quicker with a 15-oz. can of Sloppy Joe sauce and 1-lb. ground beef.
02 -
This is a great way to use leftover Sloppy Joe meat - adjust the number of sandwiches to match the amount of meat mixture you have leftover.
03 -
Try this recipe with ground turkey in place of the ground beef!
04 -
For a sturdier grilled cheese, try using sliced French or Italian bread.
