Best NYC Chopped Cheese Recipe
Report
New York City’s Chopped Cheese Sandwich with chopped beef burgers, melted gooey cheese, caramelized onions, topped with tomatoes and shredded lettuces, and hugged by a toasted hero roll. This is the classic way to make the iconic NYC chopped cheese. It reminds me of Philly cheesesteak, but even better!

Instructions
Prepare the Bread
- Slice hero rolls 3/4 of the way through with a serrated knife.
- Toast the buns on a large skillet or grill pan. Set aside.
Make the Filling
- Add oil to a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add diced onions and sauté until caramelized. Transfer to a bowl and set it aside.
- Season the patties with salt and pepper.
- Increase the heat to high, and add burger patties in the same skillet. Cook for about 4 minutes or until the bottom is nicely browned.
- Flip the burger and cook for 1 minute. Use 2 steel spatulas to chop the burger into small pieces. Stirring constantly.
- Add the cooked onions and keep chopping and stirring.
- Divide into 4 even portions and top each with 2 slices of cheese and turn off the heat so the cheese can melt properly.
Assemble the Sandwich
- Spread a thin layer of mayo on the hero roll. Drizzle ketchup on top.
- Use a steel spatula and carefully transfer the filling into each roll.
- Add sliced tomatoes and shredded iceberg lettuce on top of the filling. Season with more salt and pepper if preferred.
- (Optional) Wrap each roll with aluminum foil. Cut in half, serve warm and enjoy!
