Looking for a quick overland cooking recipe that’s packed with flavor? Our friend Steve made this chopped cheese sandwich on one of his overlanding trips and we’d love to share it with you! It’s hearty, satisfying, and easy to make with minimal ingredients.
⏰Cook Time: 10 minutes
🕙Prep Time: 5 minutes
🍽️ Servings: 1 serving
What you'll need:
- 1 sub roll or sandwich bun
- 1 frozen hamburger patty (or fresh ground beef)
- 1/2 sliced onion
- 1 jalapeno
- salt, pepper and your favourite seasoning
- Two slices of american cheese
- ketchup & mayonnaise
- lettuce & fresh tomato
Step 1: Fire Up Your SKOTTI
Warm up some beef tallow (or butter) on the hot SKOTTI Kast griddle. This will give your sandwich that perfect, crispy bite.
Step 2: Sizzle that patty
Place your hamburger patty (or fresh ground beef) on the griddle and let it cook for about 2 minutes per side.
Step 3: Get the veggies in
Throw in your sliced onions and jalapeños. They’ll soften up and take on that smoky, griddled goodness.
Step 4: Chop and Mix
This is where the magic happens! Use your spatula to chop up the meat and mix it with the sizzling veggies. You’re officially making a NYC chopped cheese sandwich—overlander style.
Step 5: Season and Melt
Hit everything with salt, pepper, or your go-to seasoning. Then, slap two slices of American cheese on top. Let it melt right into the beef.
Step 6: Toast the Bun
Place your roll on the griddle - crispy edges make all the difference!
Step 7: Sauce It Up
Spread ketchup and mayo onto your bun for that classic chopped cheese flavor.
Step 8: Build It Big
Pile the cheesy beef and veggies high on your toasted bun. This is a hearty camping sandwich, so don’t hold back.
Step 9: Add the Crunch
Top it off with fresh lettuce and juicy tomato slices. Balance = achieved.
Step 10: Take a Bite and Soak It In
No plates, no fuss—just you, your SKOTTI, and one insanely good sandwich. This is camping done right.
