Time 35m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb ground sirloin
1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2/3 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup chicken stock or 1/4 cup water
8 slices marbled rye bread
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sliced pickle

Steps:

  • Set a large skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Once hot, add the ground sirloin and begin breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until crispy and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, pepper, cayenne, and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened and almost evaporated completely, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • To assemble the sandwiches, lay out 4 bread slices in a single layer. Brush the bread with 3 tablespoons of the softened butter, then turn the bread over. Top each bread slice with 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture on top of the cheese. Top with remaining cheese and top each with a slice of bread. Brush with remaining butter.
  • Heat a skillet or griddle over moderate heat. Working in batches, cook sandwiches until bread is crisp and golden and the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and cook the remaining sandwiches.
  • To serve, cut each sandwich in half and skewer with a few pickle slices on top.
