A NYC classic, the Chopped Cheese Sandwich is famous in the city Bodegas and you can easily make it at home in less than 10 minutes. A great recipe for ground beef!
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Open the rolls and place in the skillet inside side down. Cook until golden and lightly toasted.
Remove from the pan and set aside.
Melt the remaining butter in the pan and stir in the onion. Cook until slightly softened.
Form the ground beef into four loose burger patties of equal side.
Move the onions to the side of the pan and add the beef patties to the skillet. Season the top of each Pattie with the salt, garlic and pepper.
Cook the patties until a deep brown seared crust has formed and then flip the patties over. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until seared.
Using a spatula, break the burger patties up and begin mixing the onions into the beef. Continue cooking until no longer pink.
Divide the burger mixture into four equal portions and top with two slices of cheese each.
Turn the heat off and allow the cheese to melt.
Transfer each portion to a roll. Top with tomato and lettuce.
