New York City’s Chopped Cheese Sandwich with chopped beef burgers, melted gooey cheese, caramelized onions, topped with tomatoes and shredded lettuces, and hugged by a toasted hero roll. This is the classic way to make the iconic NYC chopped cheese. It reminds me of Philly cheesesteak, but even better!

Ingredients

  • 4 burger patties ((or 1/2 pound ground beef))
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 sweet onion (diced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 slices American cheese (or cheddar cheese)
  • 4 hero rolls (sliced 3/4 through)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup (or to taste)
  • 2 to matoes (sliced)
  • 3 cups iceberg lettuce (shredded)

Directions

  1. 1

    Slice hero rolls 3/4 of the way through with a serrated knife.

  2. 2

    Add oil to a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add diced onions and sauté until caramelized. Transfer to a bowl and set it aside.

  3. 3

    Spread a thin layer of mayo on the hero roll. Drizzle ketchup on top.
