Chopped Cheese Sandwich image

These sandwiches originated in New York City and are traditionally made on a flat top grill; however, most people do not have those so I created a cast iron skillet version.

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons stone ground mustard
2 tablespoons ketchup
4 pickled cherry peppers, stems removed
1 tablespoon butter
ΒΌ cup chopped onions
12 ounces lean ground beef
salt and pepper to taste
3 slices American cheese
2 hoagie rolls, toasted
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
1 roma tomato, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Combine mustard, ketchup, and cherry peppers in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until smooth and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until onions are soft and are starting to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Form beef into two patties and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add hamburger patties and cook 5 minutes or until a crust forms on the bottom. Flip patties over and cook 3 minutes.
  • Using a wide spatula, break patties up into large pieces. Sprinkle sauteed onion in between the spaces of the hamburger pieces. Layer cheese over the beef, and cook 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • Spread reserved mustard sauce on the bottom bun of each hoagie roll. Divide meat mixture between the two sandwiches. Top each with shredded lettuce and sliced tomato.
