Spicy Chopped Cheese Melt
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 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
Heat a small skillet over high heat, allowing the butter to melt and become liquid. Introduce sliced onions into the skillet and cook until they reach a tender state, with visible signs of caramelization, approximately 5 minutes. Take the skillet off the heat source and set it aside for a moment.
2
Combine ground beef with Sriracha sauce in a large bowl, ensuring the sauce is evenly spread throughout. Use your hands or utensils to mix the ingredients until they are well combined. Shape the mixture into two thin patties and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
3
Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat, preparing it for the hamburger patties. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, or until a crust forms on the bottom. Flip the patties over and cook for 3 minutes, allowing them to develop a golden brown color.
4
Break the hamburger patties into larger pieces using a wide, flat utensil. Distribute the cooked onions evenly throughout the hamburger pieces. Place shredded cheese on top and cook for 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
5
Divide the hamburger and cheese mixture evenly between toasted hoagie rolls. Place each roll on a plate or serving surface, and top it with shredded lettuce and sliced tomato for added flavor and texture.
