Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 2 large portabella mushrooms (4-5 small)
• 1 -2 large onion
• butter
• extra virgin olive oil
• 4 hoagie rolls (sub)
• mozzarella cheese
• parmesan cheese
• ketchup

Recipe

• 1 wash portabellos with a damp paper towel.
• 2 the portabellos might seem a little dry, especially around the'gills'.
• 3 cut them into strips and place on a dinner plate.
• 4 cover mushroom strips with olive oil and allow them to soak while you prepare the onions.
• 5 if they still appear dry, add more oil.
• 6 cut onions into thin strips.
• 7 caramelize onions over medium or medium high heat in butter and olive oil, stirring frequently until golden brown.
• 8 the amount of oil and butter depend on the moisture content of your onions, i usually use more butter than olive oil.
• 9 the longer and slower you cook the onions, the better.
• 10 you can do this from 15-45 minutes depending on your schedule.
• 11 nothing tastes better than a nicely caramelized onion!
• 12 once onions are done, remove from skillet.
• 13 preheat broiler.
• 14 use the same skillet to heat up the portabello mushrooms.
• 15 again, cook in butter and olive oil just until warm and tender.
• 16 (i recommend not cooking the mushrooms and onions together, portabellos have a habit of turning other food black.) slice open the sandwich rolls and remove a little of the bread stuffing from each side.
• 17 distribute cooked portabellos evenly to each roll.
• 18 cover with caramelized onions.
• 19 add mozzarella cheese to taste.
• 20 sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
• 21 broil until cheese melts and rolls begin to brown, 3-5 minutes.
• 22 serve with ketchup for a cheesesteak flavor.
