Ingredients

For the Sloppy Joe Filling:

• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• ½ small yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 large green bell pepper, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 ½ pounds ground beef
• Cayenne pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1-2 tablespoons Morehouse Yellow Mustard
• ¼ cup tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

For the Sandwiches:

• 8 slices of bread (white, sourdough, or brioche)
• 8 slices American cheese
• 4 tablespoons butter, softened

Instructions

1. Cook the Sloppy Joe Filling:

• Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
• Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned.
• Stir in cayenne, salt, and smoked paprika. Cook for another minute.

2. Prepare the Sauce:

• In a bowl, mix Worcestershire sauce, Morehouse Yellow Mustard, tomato sauce, and brown sugar.
• Stir until the brown sugar is fully dissolved.

3. Combine & Simmer:

• Pour the sauce mixture into the pan with the beef.
• Stir well and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.

4. Assemble the Sandwiches:

• Butter one side of each slice of bread.
• Place 2 slices, buttered side down, in a skillet over medium-low heat.
• Lay one slice of American cheese on each, then spoon a generous amount of sloppy joe filling on top.
• Top with another slice of American cheese, then place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side up.

5. Grill to Perfection:

• Cook 2 sandwiches at a time for 2-3 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
• Press gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling.

6. Serve & Enjoy:

• Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.
• Slice in half and serve hot.
