→ Sandwich Assembly
11 -
8 slices Texas Toast bread (or any thick/sturdy bread)
12 -
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
13 -
Unsalted butter, for grilling
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add ground beef and onions; cook until onions are softened and beef is completely browned, about 3 minutes. Drain all excess fat.
02 -
Stir in garlic powder, ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar, mixing well to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in the diced dill pickles. Transfer mixture to a bowl, cover to keep warm, and set aside.
03 -
Wipe out the skillet and return to medium heat. Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Place a slice butter-side down in the skillet. Layer with some cheese, a generous portion of the sloppy joe mixture, more cheese, and top with another bread slice (butter-side up).
04 -
Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Carefully flip and gently press down to help the cheese melt. Continue cooking until the other side is browned and cheese has melted completely, another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 4 sandwiches.
# Notes:
01 -
Serve immediately with potato chips or additional dill pickles on the side for extra crunch.
02 -
For less mess when eating, allow sandwiches to rest for 1-2 minutes before cutting.
