Dill Pickle Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese

 

Every time I make a sandwich using the bread my girls use for sandwiches, I think man this would taste good on sourdough bread. I love sourdough bread, but one of my girls does not so I do not have it in the house often. I think I need to keep a loaf in the freezer for when I want to make a delicious sandwich.

Sloppy joes are an easy and delicious sandwich, especially if made from scratch. I am not a fan of the canned stuffed, but homemade is definitely the way to go and easy to make. Add some dill pickles to the sloppy joe mix and it takes it to the next level. Combine that dilly sloppy joe mix with the classic grilled cheese and you have a filling and delicious sandwich.
