1

Melt butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until they are tender and beginning to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
2

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and Sriracha sauce; mix until the Sriracha is evenly incorporated. Shape the mixture into two thin patties and season with salt and pepper.
3

Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the hamburger patties and cook for 5 minutes, or until a crust develops on the bottom. Flip the patties and cook for 3 minutes.
4

Use a wide spatula to break the patties into large pieces. Sprinkle the cooked onion among the hamburger pieces. Layer the cheese on top and cook for 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
5

Divide the hamburger and cheese mixture evenly between the toasted hoagie rolls. Top each with shredded lettuce and sliced tomato.
