Fat Chopped Cheese Recipe

Fat Chopped Cheese Recipe

Chopped cheese sandwiches are a staple in the tri-state area. Have you ever heard of a Chopped Cheese sandwich? Or a fat sandwich? How about combining them for the ultimate sandwich?

 

The Chopped Cheese sandwich comes from the heart of bodegas in New York City and is loved among locals while fat sandwiches have become iconic here in New Jersey through the years. The fat sandwich originated at Rutgers University at a grease truck, where a hungry college student was looking to fulfill his late-night craving by stacking whatever he could fit onto a sandwich.

Serves

1

  • 1 Sub Roll (toasted)

  • 2 Patties Schweid & Sons The Butcher's Blend

  • 1 Medium Onion (diced)

  • 4-6 Slices American Cheese

  • 1/2 Cup Onion Rings

  • 1/2 Cup French Fries

  • 1/2 Cup Mozzarella Sticks

  • 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise

  • 1-2 Tbsp Hot Sauce

  • 1-2 Tbsp Barbecue Sauce

  • Sliced Tomatoes

  • Shredded Lettuce

  • Pickle Chips

  • 1. Heat a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium high heat. Add 1-2 Tbsp oil and burger patties, leaving alone for the first few minutes.

  • 2. Flip the burgers and, using two spautlas, roughly chop the burger meat. Make space in the pan and add the onions, stirring occasionally to incorporate everything.

  • 3. When beef is mostly browned, add cheese and do not disturb for a few moments as the cheese starts to melt. Chop the patties and stir in the melted cheese.

  • 4. While the beef is cooking, prepare french fries, onion rings and mozzarella sticks. When all elements are ready, make your sandwich by spreading the toasted roll with mayo (and some hot sauce, if desired). Pile on ground beef, then top with fried toppings and any additional garnishes you like. Wrap in parchment paper and enjoy!
