Ingredients

Main Sandwich:

  • 2 (8 oz) hamburger patties (we used Beast Burger patties from Don’s Meat Shop)

  • ½ medium onion, diced

  • Adobo seasoning, to taste (see recipe below)

  • 4 slices American cheese

  • 2 hoagie rolls

  • Burger sauce (see recipe below)

  • Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, thin tomato slices

Burger Sauce:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • ¼ cup ketchup

  • 2 tbsp yellow mustard

  • 1 tbsp dill pickle relish

  • 1 tsp white vinegar

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Sriracha, to taste (optional)

Adobo Seasoning:

  • 2 tbsp salt

  • 2 tbsp ground pepper

  • 1 tbsp paprika

  • 1 tbsp oregano

  • 1 tbsp onion powder

  • 1 tbsp garlic powder

  • 1 tbsp chili powder

  • 1 tbsp cumin

  • 1 tbsp turmeric

Instructions:

  • Step 1: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the hamburger patties and sear for 3–4 minutes. Flip and break them up with a spatula. Cook for another 4–5 minutes until browned and cooked through.

  • Step 2: While the meat cooks, toast two hoagie rolls.

  • Step 3: Add diced onions and Adobo seasoning to the skillet. Cook for another 3–4 minutes until onions are softened and everything is well mixed.

  • Step 4: Divide the meat mixture in half in the skillet. Place two slices of American cheese over each portion and let melt.

  • Step 5: Place each cheesy meat portion onto a toasted hoagie roll.

  • Step 6: Top with burger sauce and your choice of shredded lettuce and thinly sliced tomato.

  • Step 7: Serve immediately and enjoy!

What People are saying

Tonight was my first time ever going into this shop. I love steak and the cuts looked amazing. Cooked my first NY Strip from this shop and it didn't disappoint at all! Well worth the price. Real tender and you can tell they sell only the best cuts."

— Robert Jordan Customer

"They have the Best Ribs and meats around, and the baby backs are so thick that I had to adjust my smoking time!!"

— Allen Welton

"Great selection of meats. Friendly accommodating staff. My place to go for fresh meat."

— Jay Bleck

"You know a ribeye is good when you can cut it with a butter knife! Best quality steak I have found around! We also got a 5-pound-bag of chicken tenders! My son absolutely loves them!

We will definitely be back on a regular basis!

Thank you, Dons Meat Shop for meeting this local need! :)"

— Will Harrison

"This place is great and we have never been disappointed with the large inventory, price, quality or service we receive when we go to Don's. This is definitely the place to go if you are looking for something special for party or the holidays as they'll be happy to custom cut anything they have in stock. I can tell you from experience that serving 4 inch thick custom cut Porterhouses broken down at a carving station to a group of people a real crowd pleaser."
