Description
Experience the flavors of New York's iconic bodegas with this Chopped Cheese recipe. This hearty sandwich, a fusion of a cheesesteak and a burger, delivers a mouthful of juicy beef and melted cheese with every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 bell peppers (any color), finely chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 slices American cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 4 hero rolls, hoagie rolls, or sub rolls
- Condiments of choice: lettuce, tomato slices, mayo, ketchup, mustard
- 2 tablespoons oil for cooking
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the oil.
- Cook Veggies: Add the chopped onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté until the onions become translucent and the peppers soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add Beef: Crumble the ground beef into the skillet with the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, frequently chopping and stirring, until the beef is fully browned.
- Cheese Layer: Once the beef is browned, divide the mixture into roughly the size of your rolls. Place a slice of cheese on each portion and let it melt, about 1 minute.
- Assemble: Slice open the rolls and toast them if desired. Using a spatula, transfer each beef and cheese portion onto a roll. Add condiments and veggies of choice.
- Serve: Serve the Chopped Cheese hot with your favorite side dish, like fries or a salad.
