1

Place the mustard, ketchup, and cherry peppers in a food processor bowl. Pulse until smooth, then set aside.
2

Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until they are soft and beginning to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
3

Shape the beef into two patties and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the hamburger patties and cook for 5 minutes, or until a crust forms on the bottom. Flip the patties and cook for 3 minutes.
4

With a wide spatula, break the patties into large pieces. Sprinkle the sautéed onion into the gaps between the hamburger pieces. Layer the cheese over the beef, and cook for 2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
5

Spread the reserved mustard sauce on the bottom bun of each hoagie roll. Divide the meat mixture between the two sandwiches. Top each with shredded lettuce and sliced tomato.
