Chopped Cheese Recipe Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 cup onion, thinly sliced
5 – 8 American cheese slices
seasoned salt
kosher salt and ground pepper
shredded lettuce
tomato, thinly sliced
sandwich rolls or buns

Chopped Cheese Sandwich Recipe Directions
These chopped cheese sandwiches will come together in about 10 minutes. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat, and dust the bottom with some seasoning salt. Once the pan is hot, add the ground beef, and use a spatula or burger press to spread the meat out into a thin layer.
Let the meat sear, don’t turn it yet. Sprinkle the top with seasoning salt. Once you see the edges of the beef start to get crispy and brown, flip the meat. Toast the buns.
Move the beef to one side of the skillet and add the thinly sliced onions to fry. While the onions continue to cook, chop the beef into chunks about a ¼ inch in size. When the onions are fried and nicely browned and the beef is cooked through, mix them together and start to gather together in a pile in the middle of the pan.
Top with the American cheese slices, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan so the cheese can melt.
To serve, mix together mayo and hot sauce, and spread over the top and bottom buns. Layer on tomato slices, hot chopped cheese and top with crisp iceberg lettuce. Rich, salty cheesy chopped cheese, like a combination philly cheese steak, cheeseburger sloppy joe.
