Although chopped cheeses and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/pat-s-king-of-steaks-philly-cheesesteak\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/pat-s-king-of-steaks-philly-cheesesteak\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Philly cheesesteaks<\/a> have some overlapping ingredients, they are very different sandwiches. Chopped cheese is made with well-browned ground beef chopped up into crumbles on the griddle, and then topped with lightly cooked onions and cheese (some melt the cheese on top, others chop it into the meat). The whole shebang is tucked into a toasted and mayo-ed hoagie roll and finished with lettuce, tomato and the condiments of your choice. A Philly cheesesteak is made with thinly sliced steak and is traditionally topped with melted Cheez Whiz or sliced provolone. It does not usually have fresh toppings.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Chopped Cheese<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hoagie rolls: <\/strong>A soft rectangular hoagie roll (aka hero or sub roll) is easier to stuff than a round roll, and contains the chopped cheese filling better.

Rather than preparing extra sandwiches and wrapping them up, store the components separately in food storage bags or containers so you can assemble them fresh when it&#8217;s time to eat.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does a chopped cheese last?<\/h3>\n<p>Although it&#8217;s best to eat a chopped cheese while warm, you can still prep the sandwich ingredients since the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-long-will-leftovers-keep\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-long-will-leftovers-keep\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">leftovers last<\/a> several days. Store the cooked meat in an airtight container; it will last up to four days in the fridge and three months in the freezer. Less sturdy produce, like lettuce and tomato, can be kept for one to two days, but it&#8217;s best to slice them right before eating.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze chopped cheese meat?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/freezing-food\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/freezing-food\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Freezing food<\/a> is a great way to avoid kitchen waste and have dinner ready in a flash.

The bread may be slightly soggy, but that&#8217;s not always bad. A better option is to reheat the cooked meat, melt the cheese on top and pack it into a freshly toasted hoagie roll. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/microwaving-leftovers\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/microwaving-leftovers\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Microwaving leftovers<\/a> is one of the fastest ways to reheat the meat, and it will prevent it from drying out. Make sure to use a microwave-safe dish and heat the meat until it&#8217;s hot and steamy (a best practice when it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/food-safety-mistakes\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/food-safety-mistakes\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">food safety<\/a>) before adding the cheese.<\/p>\n<h2>Chopped Cheese Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2120779\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Chopped-Cheese_TOHVP25_257870_MF_02_04_1.jpg\" alt=\"overhead shot of a halved Chopped Cheese sandwich being held in two hands, the sandwich is cut vertically and showcases layers of chopped beef, melted orange cheese, slices of red tomato, and shredded lettuce, all nestled within a soft, white bun, the sandwich is wrapped in white parchment paper at the bottom, and the hands are positioned against a plain, light grey background\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the best type of roll for a chopped cheese?<\/h3>\n<p>A chopped cheese isn&#8217;t a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/subs-grinders-and-hoagies\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/subs-grinders-and-hoagies\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">grinder, sub or hoagie<\/a>, but it does work best on a hoagie roll. The crumbled meat stays better connected to a long roll that opens wide and can hold all the juices and toppings. So, even though the sandwich is drippy and a little messy to eat, the contents will not fall out. Since hoagie rolls are soft, toasting them before filling keeps them from disintegrating as they soak up all the flavors.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you use other ground meats for a chopped cheese?<\/h3>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t eat beef, you can still make a fantastic chopped cheese with ground turkey or chicken. But use the fattier options instead of the super lean ones so the meat browns in the pan and doesn&#8217;t become tough. Ground bison is a great alternative to beef, and the bread and toppings will tame the slightly gamey flavor.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with chopped cheese sandwiches?<\/h3>\n<p>A chopped cheese is filling on its own, but where&#8217;s the fun in that?
