In a parallel universe, I opened a restaurant called The Bastard to serve whatever random fusion food I feel like making. Here’s a dish from its menu.

Chopped Cheese Over Rice

Sautee some chopped onion in a pan until golden. Add ground beef to the pan. Season with salt, adobo, and a little bit of hawaij. Flip the meat over and season again. Chop the meat into pieces and stir together with the onions.

Throw on slices of American cheese to finish. Serve over plain basmati rice and with the following side salad: chopped tomato, shaved onion, chopped iceberg, salt, mayo, mustard, ketchup, and whatever other fixings you like to have with your chopped cheese sandwich.
