Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and chopped onion until beef is browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.
Add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the beef. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
Butter one side of each bread slice.
Place 4 slices of bread, buttered side down, in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Top each with 1 slice of cheese, a scoop of sloppy joe mixture, another slice of cheese, and another slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing slightly with a spatula.
Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve hot.

Notes

Use American or pepper jack cheese for variation.
Try with Texas toast or sourdough for extra crunch.
Can be made with ground turkey or plant-based meat as a substitute.
