The Original Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese

Print Recipe
This sloppy joe grilled cheese recipe was one of my first viral recipes back when I started this blog a million years ago. It's made with leftover sloppy joe beef, sharp cheddar, and pickle flavored potato chips between two brioche buns. On the outside of the grilled cheese, a crispy cheesy crust is formed to add extra goodness!

Equipment

  • a straw or skewer

Ingredients

  • 1 brioche bun split in half
  • ⅓ cup cup Tillamook medium cheddar shredded
  • 2 pats salted butter
  • 1 handful potato chips I used McClure's pickle chips because they're my favorite thing EVER
  • 1.5 tablespoon leftover sloppy joe beef at room temperature

Instructions

  • Split brioche bun in half and shave off the top dome. Now flip it inside out so that the exterior is now the interior.
  • Add half the cheese followed by the sloppy joe mix, the chips and the rest of the cheese. Place the top bun on top.
  • Butter the exterior of the sandwich and poke holes in the bread with a straw or skewer - this will help create the cheesy crust.
  • Grill the sandwich over medium-low heat for a 5-7 minutes or until the cheese has all melted and the crust has developed.
  • Remove from heat and let rest for 1 minute before serving.
