I’m all for simple meals in the summer time. It’s hot enough in the South already without slaving over a hot stove! I’m still working Monday through Thursday so cooking on those nights is challenging anyway.

I’m also always on the lookout for a quick and delicious recipe using ground beef.

We love ground beef and I cook it at least two times a week. It seems like I alternate between hamburgers and tacos this time of year (and chili and spaghetti during the winter).
I gave this Sloppy Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Recipe from Pinterest a try tonight and they were so good! Mr. Right agreed and may have eaten three of them. I will definitely make them again!

Here’s the recipe!

Sloppy Grilled Cheese Sandwiches by 5 Boys Baker

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. ground beef…I use at least 1.25 lbs
¼ cup chopped onion (sometimes I substitute a little onion powder if I don’t have an onion)
1-2 Tbsp. prepared mustard (I used regular mustard…I don’t even know what prepared mustard is)
½ cup ketchup
¼ cup brown sugar
½ Tbsp. worcestershire sauce
10-12 slices Texas toast bread (I didn’t have Texas Toast so I used Butterbread)
6 tbsp. butter softened (I just used my regular sqeezeable butter)
3 – 4 cups shredded cheese

Brown ground beef with onion in skillet until fully cooked. Drain off any grease.
Add mustard, ketchup and brown sugar and Worcestershire . Simmer for 5 minutes.
Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
To assemble sandwiches, place one slice of bread, butter side down onto griddle or skillet. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese, a scoop of the beef mixture, and top with some more shredded cheese. Place a piece of bread on top, butter side up. Cook over medium heat until browned, carefully flip over and cook other side until browned.
