About Chopped cheese
Chopped cheese, often called a "chop cheese," is a popular sandwich originating from New York City bodegas, particularly in Harlem and the Bronx. It consists of ground beef cooked on a griddle, mixed with melted cheese (commonly American), and placed on a hero roll or hamburger bun. It's typically topped with lettuce, tomato, onions, mayonnaise, and ketchup, though variations exist. This savory sandwich is rooted in urban comfort food culture and is sometimes compared to a cheeseburger in flavor. Nutritionally, chopped cheese is rich in protein from the beef and cheese, providing energy and muscle-building nutrients. However, it can be high in saturated fat, sodium, and calories, depending on preparation and toppings. Adding more vegetables and opting for leaner beef or whole-grain bread can make it a slightly healthier choice. Moderation is key to enjoying this iconic NYC staple as part of a balanced diet.
