Harlem Chopped Cheese

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 6 yellow onions, finely diced
  • 10 ¼ lbs lean ground beef
  • ¼ cup chicken bouillon seasoning
  • 6 ¼ lbs sliced reduced-fat American cheese
  • 4 ½ lbs medium tomatoes, sliced
  • 7 ½ lbs iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 100 hoagie rolls, lightly toasted
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 2 cups low-fat mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Using the tilt skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. When oil is hot and beginning to shimmer, add onions and sauté until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add beef and chicken bouillon seasoning to tilt skillet, stir well and cook until no longer pink.
  2. Place sliced cheese on top of beef mixture, and using spatula, chop cheese into the meat. Allow to melt and immediately remove from heat.
  3. To serve, prepare hoagie rolls with 1 tsp each ketchup and mayo. Scoop 2 oz. of beef and cheese filling onto the rolls and top with ½ cup shredded iceberg lettuce and 2 slices of tomatoes. PRO TIP: Wrap tightly in deli paper before cutting in half to keep all the good stuff together!
