GANGSTER EATS | Bumpy Johnson Sandwich
15 mins prepServes 4
A robust sandwich inspired by 'Bumpy Johnson', featuring seasoned ground beef, sautéed onions and serrano peppers, melted American and Swiss cheeses, fresh tomatoes, lettuce, mayo, and ketchup, all served on a toasted hero roll.
Split your hero roll, leaving one side attached, toast it lightly on a flat top and increase the heat to medium-high. Next, add a little oil, then a handful of sliced onions and ½ of a thinly sliced serrano pepper, season with salt, and saute until softened and lightly charred, about two to three minutes, and set aside.
Place your ground beef on your flat top, spread the meat out, get a nice sear, let it cook for about two to three minutes, then flip and season with salt.
Chop the meat using the spatula, get it as finely as possible, and let it cook, occasionally stirring. Toss the beef with the veggies back together; line it up roughly into the shape of your bread, add chopped garlic and fold it together until just hot.
Layer on two slices of American cheese and one slice of swiss cheese.
Add a nice layer of mayo to your toasted hero roll, a generous drizzle of ketchup, pepper your buns, place the beef with the melted cheese onto your bread. Next, add some thinly sliced tomato, previously salted, and pepper (let them sit for ten minutes)—finally, some thinly sliced iceberg lettuce.
Tightly wrap it a sandwich paper to serve.
