These are pretty easy & even more decadent & delicious! You could make it with real skirt steak or something or, if you are vegan, use a vegan cheese.

It is Christmas week & my badass boyfriend, Miles, is in town. I have chilled champagne & a warm man under my roof. I plan to enjoy them both as much as possible so I will just post this as a recipe. Enjoy!

Balsamic Portobello Mushroom “Cheese Steak” Sub Sandwich (Vegetarian or Vegan)

Makes two subs

INGREDIENTS

2 hoagie rolls (softer is better than crusty)

1 green bell pepper (or other color) – sliced

1/2 onion – sliced

4 portobello mushrooms – chopped

3 garlic cloves – minced

Provolone cheese or Velveeta or Cheese Whiz or vegan alternative

olive oil

balsamic vinegar

DIRECTIONS

Heat the oven to 250 degrees.

Heat a tablespoon or so of olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Saute the onions & peppers until soft – maybe 5-10 minutes. Add garlic and incorporate. Drizzle with a tablespoon (or more to taste) of balsamic vinegar & separate into two portions in the pan.

Top with whatever cheese you are using & heat, covered, for a few minutes or until the cheese gets melted. I used a slice of provolone on each of these.

Cut your rolls taking care not to cut all the way through them. Add the mushrooms & cheese & top with more cheese. I used Velveeta on one & provolone on the other.
