I'm feeling "writy" today

First and foremost, Happy Veteran's Day, and thank you to all who do and have served the U.S.; today is really a great day to count our blessings.

I plan to post a few recipes today since I'm back on the couch, aka island, with a slight cold that I'm trying to get out of here so I can go to work tomorrow. I get sick of TV and sleep, so out comes the laptop:)

With my phlegmy throat thing, I have again forgotten to take pictures of my meals, bad Chey, bad. Still working on that!

Last night, Tuesday, was homemade steak, cheese, onion, and mushroom sub night. I must say they come out better than I thought they would! I bought a lb of stew meat, so it was already somewhat cut up, 1 medium sized white onion, a package of pre-sliced mushrooms, and a 1/2 lb of yummy deli American white cheese (I had provolone too, just in case we were feeling that). The only other ingredients you need are olive oil, pepper, salt, and Worcestershire sauce, and I had all of those in the house, luckily :)

Heat a fry pan over medium high heat; while this is happening, slice up the onions and mushrooms (and peppers if you would like to use peppers too) - not too small of slices, think about how you would get a sausage sub at Fenway size:). Pour into the heated fry pan about a tablespoon of oil, then add the veggies, sauteing them for about 7-8 minutes.

While those are sauteing, I cut up the meat into even smaller pieces than they were already in and seasoned them with salt and pepper (always wash your hands after any time you touch the meat and then need to touch something else, like the fry pan handle, fridge door, etc) and also preheated the oven to 300. I added the meat to the veggies in the fry pan along with 2 tsp's of Worcestershire sauce and let that all cook up for about another 8 minutes, until the meat was a color to our liking.

Remove the pan from the heat, take out your first sub roll, any kind is fine, slice it open, and place as much cheese as your would like on the bread. Scoop some of the veg/meat mixture on top of the cheese, spreading it out to cover the entire sub, and heat it in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted how you like it. YUM, it's done:) You can then add ketchup, mustard, tomatoes, or anything else you may like to the top and enjoy! I'd say you can even use any kind of bread you like - I bet pumpernickel or rye, or some kind of pita pocket would be really good too!

Thanks to sabatinobros.com for the pic - mine, minus the peppers, looked the same:)
