Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Vegetable Base
  • 8 ounces Sautéed mushrooms (cremini or baby bella preferred) Provide meaty texture and umami
  • 1 cup Bell peppers (any color, sliced) Adds sweetness and crunch
  • 1 cup Onions (yellow or sweet, thinly sliced) To be caramelized for flavor
Cheese Sauce
  • 1 cup Creamy vegan cheese sauce (cashew-based or meltable vegan cheese) Provide classic cheesesteak creaminess
Bread
  • 4 rolls Bread rolls (hoagie, kaiser, or sturdy Italian rolls) Must be sturdy to hold filling

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a small splash of oil.
  2. Add sliced onions and cook until they begin to soften.
  3. Then add bell peppers and mushrooms, stirring occasionally until everything is browned and tender.
Addition of Cheese Sauce
  1. Lower the heat and pour in the vegan cheese sauce.
  2. Stir to coat all the vegetables evenly and allow the sauce to warm through.
Assembly
  1. Split the rolls and, if desired, toast briefly to add structure.
  2. Spoon the cheesy vegetable mix into each roll.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately while the sauce is warm and melty.

Notes

Store the cooled filling in an airtight container and keep rolls separate to prevent sogginess. Reheat filling in a skillet with a splash of water or plant milk.
