Italian Steak Sandwiches
It was a quick sandwich to make, especially since we had some pre-made beef patties in the freezer. I seasoned them with gourmet hamburger seasoning and began frying them in a cast iron skillet.
The recipe called for a 4-ounce can of mushrooms. I had none, so I just sliced up some button mushrooms and tossed them in with the hamburgers along with some Worcestershire sauce.
As the beef patties cooked, I grabbed some hoagie buns. Sliced Italian bread would be ideal, but improvising any bread or bun will work. Spread butter on the bread and pop on a grill to brown. Or toss it under the broiler in the oven like I did.
While you are watching your bread toast without burning...Start warming up a jar of spaghetti sauce.
I doctor everything, so of course, I doctored the sauce.
Once the sauce is bubbling, you beef patties should be fully cooked.
And the bread should be perfectly golden brown.
Sandwich building time!! Start by spreading sauce on the bottom piece of bread.
I cut my patties in half to fit on the hoagie style buns better. Not perfect, but it worked.
Then scrape some of the sauteed mushrooms from the pan and add them to the patties.
And now my favorite part...CHEESE. The recipe called for Muenster. I had provolone. Provolone it is!
Now you have Italian steak sandwiches in under 30 minutes.

YUM! I would go with more mushrooms, add some onions, and maybe skip the sauce, but then I am such a rebel! What a great recipe to play with, and a whole different way to look at a hamburger!
