Sloppy Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

What if you combined a sloppy joe with a grilled cheese sandwich?  You would get the amazing sandwich that I am sharing with you today. I am calling it sloppy grilled cheese sandwiches.

You get the buttery toasted bread and melty cheddar cheese from the grilled cheese. Then there’s that saucy and tangy filling from a sloppy joe. It is truly the best of both things. To quote Hannah Montana , “You get the best of both world’s.”  (Sorry, my daughter had a Hannah Montana obsession for a bit there.)  

Be it ever so messy but ever so tasty, the sloppy grilled cheese sandwiches will make your tummy smile. If your family loves sloppy joes and grilled cheese sandwiches, then they will flip for this combo! It was a hit with my family.

For those of you who couldn’t see my appearance yesterday on Studio 5, you can see it by going to this link.  I shared a  recipe that is one of the 25 exclusive cookbook recipes.  If you have the cookbook you can find it on page 112. It pairs perfectly with divine breadsticks (also in the book on page 34) !
