Chopped Cheese Sandwich

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 1 minute
• total time: 11 minutes

Ingredients

4 hoagie buns (hot dog buns work)

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon butter

1 small onion (thinly sliced)

1 1/4 pounds ground beef (lean or standard)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

8 slices American cheese

1 cup lettuce (chopped)

1 large tomato (thinly sliced)

Directions

Halve the buns and lightly toast them lightly. Spread one side with mayonnaise.

In a non-stick pan, add the butter. Once melted, add the onion and cook until fragrant. Push to one side.

Add the ground beef and do not break apart. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sear for 4 minutes, flip, and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Slowly break apart the beef then fold through the onions. Once there is no more pink in the center, divide the portion of beef into four equal sized portions.

Add 2 slices of the American cheese over each portion and cook for 2 minutes, until gooey and melted.

Transfer each portion into the hoagie buns, add shredded iceberg lettuce and sliced tomatoes.
