Veggie Chopped Cheese ⬇️ If there’s a way to sneak in veggies to a meal, I’m gonna do it lol! My husband has been wanting a chopped cheese for lunch, so I figured I sneak in a few more vegetables (which almost always adds another layer of flavor) and it was DELISH!
Here’s what you need ✨ 16 oz. lean ground beef (90% lean or above) 1 yellow onion (small, diced) 1 red bell pepper (small, diced) 1 green bell pepper (small, diced) 3 garlic cloves (large, 4-5 if they’re small) 3 slices American cheese (or cheese of your choice) 1 tbsp oil (olive, avocado, etc) 2 tsp adobo seasoning 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp cayenne salt (big pinch) pepper (big pinch) For sandwich (toppings for 1 sandwich) 1 baguette sub roll (I used brioche subs from Publix) Ice berg (sliced very thin) microgreens or sprouts (optional) 1/4 avocado (optional) 1 tbsp light mayo What you’ll do ⬇️ - Prep/dice your vegetables. - Heat a cast iron skillet to medium-high heat (leaning more on the high side), add 1 tbsp oil, then add onions and bell peppers. Saute for 5-6 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes. Add garlic, stir for 30 seconds, then add ground beef. Immediately add salt, pepper, adobo, ground coriander, paprika, and cayenne. Let the beef cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to develop a little char, then begin to chop with a spatula or flat edge wooden spoon. Let cook through, stirring/chopping every few minutes. Once beef has cooked through, turn off heat, add American cheese slices, mix until melted in. - Toast buns, add mayo, chopped cheese, lettuce, micro greens and avocado (if using) Will you try this?!
