The Cheapest Sandwich Ever (Chopped Cheese) | But Cheaper

[@jjose100ify]

A few days ago i had the idea to make chopped cheese for me and my family. Little did i know that day my dad would pass away. It was his last meal and we had a great day together that day. You never know when it’s somebody’s time. Appreciate it while you have it.

[@clari_fairy]

As a fellow New Yorker, part of the charm of the chopped cheese is the very well used grill. If there isn’t a slight suspicion of a health code violation then it won’t have the ✨ flavor ✨ Also the presence of the cat adds to the ambiance

For anybody wondering about the cookbook: I bought it a few weeks ago. It is very very well done. I like the basics section because it teaches you how to make some pretty standard things you find in the kitchen. After the basics you have a refreshing list of mains, sides, and deserts which make for a complete repertoire of culinary food. My goal in the new year is to start on page 1 of the cookbook and make every recipe cover to cover. Thank you for such a good book. @Joshua P.S: Can we have a "So you only have..." series where you pick a couple odd ingredients that people may have laying around/leftover and make them into ad hoc dishes?

Whenever I'm making a chopped cheese, I always mix in a crumbled slice of cheese with the meat near the end but before I add on the slices of cheese on top. That way you get the best of both worlds, that gooey melted cheese in the middle with parts of it crisping and browning directly on the pan (the "burnt" cheese gives _tons_ of flavor) as well as the melted blanket of cheese on top that encompasses the whole thing. One of my favorite things to make, both for how easy it is to whip up and how good it is to eat lol

[@jamesterraprice6617]

Nice idea, thanks for sharing it!

[@wtfmanicanthaveaname]

Want to say this video changed my life. Never been to the east coast or heard of a chopped cheese. I made one last night after seeing this video and while I was making it, im like "this is just a hoagie shaped cheeseburger" then when i ate it, I was blown away. Something about the crispy bits of beef, they way the seasoning and American cheese coats every little chunk of ground beef and the hoagie roll just improved everything and every in every way. I passed on the ketchup and just used garlic mayo, lettuce, tomato. This might be the only "burger" ive ever had that I would take over In-N-Out and i made it at home and fed 4 people for about $12 and 15 mins of my time. Love your channel! Also my 9yo daughter he eats like a humming bird and NEVER finishes even a small plate of food, ate her entire 1/2lb sandwhich.

[@Silverpicker]

Both looked dope as hell. I grew up in the Bronx and what I always noticed was that they put the veggies in towards the end, just like Willie's. The difference is that in my local bodega, they always had a heap of partially grilled peppers and onions, so they ended up being cooked more like yours, even though they were added at the end.

A few things from someone that eats this almost religiously now, the main seasoning they add that these chop cheeses are missing is Sazón. It’s just vital for that umami flavor

Yea I was gonna say the sazon is the main seasoning used. I’ve eaten a LOT of bodega grinders being from the north east. Never once have I ever seen someone use salt and pepper. Not that it wouldn’t be good, just not accurate if you’re chasing that bodega chop cheese/steak and cheese flavor.

He probably won’t reply so even though I’m no expert: to my knowledge any form of commercial yeast product will work just fine regardless of what it is added to first.

I love bodega-style sandwiches like this, because while I’m not from NYC, it’s a very distinctive East Coast cuisine that reminds me of my childhood in Philly. Truthfully, it’s the bread that makes it so good. You need chewy but crusty bread for the real deal, such as a Kaiser for a good bodega breakfast sandwich and a hero roll for a chopped cheese. It’s why I bristle when someone gives me a “Philly Cheesesteak” outside of Philly: you need an Amoroso sandwich roll because it’s the only true cheesesteak bread. Otherwise it’s a steak sandwich. (So when I was taken to a cheesesteak place near me in Colorado, I saw “Amoroso’s bakery bread” on the menu and said to my friend “THIS is a true cheesesteak.”)

As a chef from NYC who specializes in chopped cheese sandwiches I co-sign this!!!! Most people chop the beef to early and don’t let a nice crust form, That’s why u need a burger with high fat content because these suckers are cooked well done
