00:00Guys, welcome back to Tasty Tailgating, presented by Pepsi.

00:03Today, we're making my favorite sandwich

00:05from when I was living up in Harlem, the chopped cheese.

00:07Let's get cooking.

00:14All right, guys, today we're making a staple of Manhattan,

00:17but specifically the Bronx and Harlem.

00:19We're making a chopped cheese sandwich, so easy to do.

00:21We have ground beef, we have an onion, some tomatoes,

00:24good old American cheese, some saison seasoning.

00:27This is very important.

00:28It's not authentic unless you have this,

00:29but good news is you can find it anywhere.

00:31And then some lettuce.

00:32You gotta have some nice bread.

00:34I got mine keeping warm in the oven here.

00:36Nice little French demi-baguette,

00:37but you can use a hoagie roll.

00:38That works great, too.

00:39First things first, I'm gonna get an onion diced up.

00:42We got that.

00:43Next, we're gonna get a pan on medium-high heat,

00:46and you're gonna get your ground beef.

00:47I'm using 80-20 beef.

00:48Same thing you'd use if you're making a burger.

00:50In fact, you can just get a burger patty, use that.

00:53That's kinda how it originated.

00:54You wanna keep it in this shape.

00:55We're gonna press it down,

00:56and we're gonna try to get a really nice crust,

00:58because if we're making a smash burger,

00:59you want a lot of browning on this.

01:01It's gonna add a lot of flavor.

01:02So get that down in the hot pan.

01:04Smash it down with your hands or with a spatula.

01:06We're gonna hit this with a little bit of salt.

01:08Not too much, though,

01:09because our Saison seasoning

01:11has a good amount of salt in there.

01:13Whole packet is gonna go right on top.

01:16While that ground beef is cooking,

01:17I'm gonna get some lettuce.

01:18I just have a head of iceberg lettuce here.

01:20You want shredded lettuce for this.

01:21You don't wanna keep it whole.

01:23Pull a couple leaves off like so.

01:24Take those, roll them up,

01:26and then you're just gonna slice.

01:29Just like that.

01:31All right, the ground beef now is ready to be chopped.

01:33Look at that color from that seasoning.

01:35So get in there again with a spatula or a bench scrape.

01:39Chop away.

01:39We have this nice, this is what you're looking for.

01:41Nice, you want some good browning,

01:43some good crusty bits on the bottom there.

01:44And as that beef continues to cook,

01:47we're just gonna add our onions

01:48to the other half of that pan.

01:49A little bit of salt on that.

01:51We have our tomato,

01:52and I like really, really super thin slices of tomato.

01:54You can use a knife,

01:55but if you have a mandolin,

01:57you're gonna get the best result.

02:02There you go.

02:03Super thin slices.

02:04Now we're gonna start to mix that onion

02:05in with the ground beef.

02:08Let that all finish cooking.

02:10Once that's all cooked,

02:11we're gonna go in with our American cheese.

02:13And this, don't be shy with this.

02:14This is a sandwich that's meant to indulge a little bit here.

02:17So we're going with four or five slices of American cheese.

02:20It's gonna melt right into that.

02:22It's gonna get super gooey.

02:23It's gonna help everything stick together on the sandwich.

02:25That'll start to melt right in.

02:29And we can start, oh yeah.

02:30Just mix that up.

02:31Chop that in.

02:32Ooh!

02:33And this whole thing comes together in what?

02:35In 10 minutes, if that.

02:36Very easy to make.

02:37Time to build.

02:38Grab that warm bread out of the oven.

02:40Just gonna slice it right down the middle.

02:47Ooh, that's nice and warm.

02:48We're gonna go on with some mayonnaise now on both sides here.

02:52Get our layer of lettuce.

02:53So this is just a deconstructed cheeseburger.

02:55It's essentially what it is,

02:56but God, it tastes so good.

02:58Load up those thinly sliced tomatoes.

03:01We're just gonna pile this now.

03:07Just like any good cheeseburger,

03:08ketchup to finish it off.

03:12And that's a good looking chopped cheese right there.

03:14Now I'm gonna try to fold this thing over.

03:16Let's see if I can do it.

03:18Now the wrap is important.

03:19This is gonna hold everything together.

03:20We're gonna slice it in tin foil,

03:21let it sit a little bit.

03:22Everything's gonna kind of come together.

03:24You can use parchment paper, tin foil, doesn't matter.

03:26Let's get a nice tight wrap on this though.

03:29There you go, just like the bodegas.

03:38All right guys, there you go.

03:39That's the chopped cheese sandwich.

03:40We have Jersey Jerry in the kitchen.

03:42He's gonna come try this.

03:43You like a chopped cheese, Jerry?

03:44I never have.

03:45What?

03:46I never have.

03:47You're from Jersey?

03:48You're from Jersey?

03:48I know, I didn't wanna say it publicly.

03:50I never have.

03:51That's crazy.

03:51This is the first time for everything.

03:53I'm gonna cut this thing open now.

03:54We'll put it in the basket.

03:55So essentially it's just ground beef and cheese?

03:56It's beef.

03:57It's a cheeseburger that's been deconstructed.

03:59And look at that.

04:00That looks good, doesn't it?

04:01Yeah, that does look good.

04:03That's gonna be nice.

04:03All right.

04:04Okay, can I keep half?

04:06Yeah, you can keep half.

04:07Yeah.

04:08But remember, every crave-worthy bite

04:10tastes better with Pepsi.

04:12Here's a classic.

04:12I have Pepsi Zero Sugar.

04:14Jerry, without further ado, let's go.

04:16This is your first one, so.

04:17Oh, good bread.

04:19Oh yeah, good bread.

04:20Publicly, yeah.

04:21So yeah, we'll peel this one.

04:22I wanna eat this right, though.

04:23I wrapped it like a deli,

04:24so I went kinda crazy on the wrapping.

04:27Didn't have to be quite this many.

04:28Yeah, peel it.

04:29Peel the wrapper.

04:30Ooh, wow, yeah.

04:32Yeah, there you go.

04:34That's a nice peel.

04:35That's a better peel than mine.

04:37Let's go in, right?

04:37Let's go in.

04:38It's not gonna be pretty.

04:41Oh, Johnny.

04:45Oh man.

04:47Johnny, that's good.

04:49That's good, right?

04:50No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's good.

04:54Well, there you go, guys.

04:55It's a chopped cheese sandwich.
