Chopped Cheese Sandwich

Presented by Carla Hall on The Chew and the comment on this recipe is life changing and we have to say it was!! Really really good --I did not have pickled jalepenos but did have banana pepper rings and they worked well. Kevin wants this to be our sandwich of the summer!

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef (75/25)
• 1 onion (peeled, small dice, divided)
• 1 cup dill pickle chips (roughly chopped, divided)
• 1 cup pickled jalapenos (roughly chopped, divided)
• 8 slices American cheese
• 1/4 cup yellow mustard ( used Guldens)
• 4 Kaiser rolls (warmed)
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

• Preheat a griddle over medium-high heat and grease with olive oil.
• In a large bowl, add ground beef and season well with salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until combined. Divide meat into 4 equal parts and form into thin patties. Add the onions in an even layer to the griddle and cook stirring occasionally, until softened, about 1-2 minutes. Place the formed patties on to the griddle and cook for 2 minutes. Flip, and use two large spatulas to chop the onions into each patty. Chop desired amount of pickles and pickled jalapenos into the patties and top each with 1-2 slices of cheese. Cover the patties with a large metal bowl and cook until cheese has melted, about 1 minute more. Remove mixture to a warm kaiser roll spread with mustard, and serve!
