Chopped Cheese

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 teaspoons store-bought or homemade adobo seasoning
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • 2 (12-inch) hero rolls
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 2 vine-ripened or Roma tomatoes, sliced
  • Freshly-ground black pepper

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Heat a large stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.  Pour in oil to coat skillet.  Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes.  Add ground beef and adobo seasoning and cook, breaking up beef into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until beef is no longer pink, about 6 minutes.

Step 2: Spread beef in pan and top with cheese slices.  Reduce heat to medium.  Cover skillet and cook until cheese slightly melts, about 2 minutes.  Uncover and stir cheese into beef until completely melted and creamy.

Step 3: Place each roll on a sheet of parchment.  Scoop out some bread from each side of roll.  Spread cut sides of each roll with 2 tablespoons mayonnaise.  Fill rolls with ground beef mixture, lettuce, and tomatoes; season with pepper.  Tightly wrap sandwich in parchment paper and cut in half to serve.
