These chopped cheese 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.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine mustard, ketchup, and cherry peppers in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until smooth and set aside.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Using a wide spatula, break patties up into large pieces. Sprinkle sautéed onion in between spaces of the hamburger pieces. Layer cheese over beef, and cook 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Spread reserved mustard sauce on bottom bun of each hoagie roll. Divide meat mixture between two sandwiches. Top each with shredded lettuce and sliced tomato.
