This is one of my family’s favorite meals, and FANTASTIC NEWS- it can be made using Thrive Life freeze dried foods which means almost all of the ingredients are shelf stable.
Watch the video below to see how easy this is to make.

Ingredients
- 1 c water
- 2 c Thrive Life ground beef
- 1/4 c Thrive Life sliced onions
- 1/4 c Thrive Life green bell peppers
- 1 T Thrive Life garlic
- 1 1/2 c ketchup
- 2 T mustard
- 2/3 c brown sugar
- sliced American cheese
- good sandwich bread
- butter to spread on bread
Instructions
Boil the water then add the Thrive Life ingredients and cook for a minute to rehydrate. Add the ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar and mix together. Place a slice of cheese on 2 slices of bread, then spoon some of the sloppy joe mixture on to one and place the other slice on top making the sandwich with cheese between the sloppy joe mixture and bread on both ends. Butter the outside of the bread and grill the sandwich like you would for a grilled cheese sandwich until the bread is golden on each side. Enjoy!
Sadly, Thrive Life is no longer available. You can substitute your own freeze-dried ingredients or another brand.
