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!
