Spicy Chopped Cheese Sandwich Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.25 cup chopped onions
• 12 ounces lean ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 3 slices American cheese
• 2 hoagie buns, split and toasted
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 roma tomato, thinly sliced

Instructions

1. Melt butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until tender and starting to caramelize, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef and Sriracha sauce, ensuring the Sriracha is evenly distributed. Shape the mixture into two thin patties, then season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the hamburger patties in the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, or until a nice crust has formed on the bottom. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
4. Using a wide spatula, break the patties into large, manageable pieces. Sprinkle the caramelized onion evenly among the hamburger pieces. Layer cheese slices on top and cook for approximately 2 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and gooey.
5. Divide the savory hamburger and cheese mixture equally between toasted hoagie rolls. Finish each sandwich by topping with fresh shredded lettuce and juicy sliced tomato.
