The Best Cheeseburger Sub Recipes

THE BEST BACON CHEESEBURGER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish and vinegar in a small bowl; set aside.
• Working in batches if necessary, add the bacon to a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a nonstick baking sheet. Discard the bacon fat (or save for another use) and wipe the skillet clean but do not wash. Heat over medium-high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes.
• Add the buns split-side up to the baking sheet with the bacon and bake until the buns are toasted, about 5 minutes.
• Loosely form the beef into 4 balls. Add one ball of beef to the skillet and press firmly to flatten with a large flat metal spatula for 10 seconds, then gently remove the spatula. Sprinkle the patty generously with salt; repeat with the remaining beef balls, cooking in batches if necessary. Let cook, undisturbed, until well browned on the bottoms, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the patties, sprinkle with more salt and top each with a slice of Cheddar. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted around the edges and the bottoms are browned, about 2 more minutes.
• Spread the mayonnaise mixture on the bun tops. Serve the patties on the bottom buns topped with the bacon, onion, tomato and lettuce.

THE BEST CHEESEBURGER SUB

Steps:

• Place the ground beef in a large nonstick skillet set over med/high height. Break up the beef and let it begin to brown.
• Add the onion and stir well. Let the beef brown, then drain off the fat. (I use a colander).
• While the beef cooks, whisk together all the ingredients for the sub sauce.
• Season the beef well, add the worcestershire sauce, and then add in the cheese. Stir until it begins to melt. Turn off the heat.
• Split each roll lengthwise on top, but don't cut fully through the bottom. Scoop out some of the bread from the middle and spread each sub roll with some mayonnaise.
• Divide the beef between the rolls. Drizzle with sub sauce and sprinkle with parmesan. Top with lettuce, tomatoes and onion and serve.

CHOPPED CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil, then add the onion, ground beef, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, undisturbed, until the beef starts to develop a crust, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula, breaking up the meat. Continue cooking until browned, about 30 more seconds. Stir in the pickled peppers, then arrange the cheese over the meat mixture; remove from the heat and let melt.
• Spread the mayonnaise on both sides of the rolls. Divide the beef among the roll bottoms using a spatula. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, hot sauce and the roll tops. Serve with potato chips.
