Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 ounces vegan ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices vegan cheddar cheese slices
- 2 pieces sub rolls or hoagie buns
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes, until soft and translucent.
Add the vegan ground beef to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned.
Season the vegan meat mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine the flavors.
Divide the vegan meat into two sections within the skillet. Place two slices of vegan cheddar cheese over each section. Cover the pan for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
Meanwhile, cut the sub rolls or hoagie buns in half and brush the insides with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
In a separate pan, toast the buns over medium heat until golden and crispy, for about 2 minutes.
Once the cheese has melted, spoon the vegan chopped cheese mix onto the toasted buns.
Top each sandwich with shredded lettuce and tomato slices.
Drizzle ketchup and mustard over the top for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vegan chopped cheese sandwiches!
