Betsys Awesome Vegetarian Sandwich Recipe

Betsys Awesome Vegetarian Sandwich

From chef_betsy 16 years ago

I first had this when I was working in a mall in the early 1990's. I have made my verson of it myself ever since.

1 1/2 tblsp butter shopping list
1/2 green pepper, chopped shopping list
1/2 small onion, chopped (purple or yellow onion ok) shopping list
1/3 of a 10 oz bag of sliced mushrooms or... slice up approximately 3 - 4 oz of mushrooms shopping list
1 small can sliced olives (4 - 5 oz, I believe), drained shopping list
2 slices of pre-sliced, deli-style swiss chease shopping list
1 slice of pre-sliced, deli-style provolone cheese shopping list
2 sandwich rolls (hoagies, steak rolls, any sliced sandwich roll) shopping list
mayonnaise shopping list
lettuce (optional) shopping list
tomato (optional) shopping list

Prepare the sandwich rolls by slathering mayonnaise on them. (if you like less mayonnaise than "slathering", by all means, use less, or use light mayo if you also prefer.)
Melt butter in large saute pan over med-high heat
Saute green pepper and onion together, until starting to soften
Add mushrooms, breaking the slices up into smaller pieces while doing so
Saute this mixture for another couple minutes until mushrooms start to soften
Now add the sliced olives
Stir it all around a bit, until the olives are heated through
Now divide it into 2 portions, each on one side of the pan
Turn heat to low and put 1 slice of swiss cheese and 1/2 of a slice of provolone cheese over each portion
Let melt and turn off heat.
Using a spatula, slide portions (one at a time) into their respective sandwich rolls. Some may fall out so put it back in!
Now add your preferred amount of lettuce and tomato and dig in!
**NOTE** You can just use swiss cheese, and omit the provolone and it's just as tasty.
