How to Cook a Chopped Cheese Sandwich

Chopped Cheese Sandwich started out in the Bronx and Harlem, chopped burger with cheese melted on top with a hero roll.

I couldn’t find a hero roll so please forgive me that one.

It’s not the prettiest sandwich but damn it’s good!

Add some oil before adding 1 sliced onion.

Cook the onion until it begins to soften and go translucent.

Move the onion to one side.

Season with salt and pepper.

Once the bottom of the patties is nicely seared, start chopping them up using a burger flipper.

Chop them up into smaller and smaller pieces.

Place the onions on top

Butter the roll and toast.

I know they’ll be comment yelling at me for using American Cheese but I’ll tell you this, nothing melts like American cheese and much like a burger we want the cheese to cling to the meat and hold it all together.

Now to make the sandwich, add a layer of mayo on the bottom.

A layer of ketchup on the top.

Followed by some iceberg lettuce.

A couple of slices of tomato.

Finally, the chopped cheese.

It’s not the prettiest sandwich but damn it’s good!
