Description
The Best Chopped Cheese Sandwich is a classic New York deli favorite. Juicy chopped hamburger patties combined with sautéed onions and peppers, topped with melty American cheese, all served on a toasted hoagie roll.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pre-formed hamburger patties
- 1 teaspoon celtic sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Green bell pepper, sliced
- White onion, sliced
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4-6 slices American cheese
Instructions
- Season the hamburger patties with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté the sliced green bell pepper and onion until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Chop the cooked hamburger patties into small pieces and return them to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Mix together until combined and heated through.
- Place slices of American cheese over the meat and vegetable mixture and let melt.
- Meanwhile, butter the hoagie rolls and toast them in a separate pan or under a broiler until golden and crisp.
- Spoon the cheesy chopped meat and vegetables into the toasted hoagie rolls and serve immediately.
Notes
- Feel free to add toppings like lettuce, tomato, pickles, or hot sauce.
- Using pre-formed patties speeds up the cooking process, but freshly formed patties work just as well.
- For extra flavor, cook the vegetables in the juices from the meat.
