Philadelphia Cheese Steak


***This sandwich has an incredibly high calorie count!

Ingredients
U.S. Metric Conversion chart
1/4 cup(s) vegetable oil
4 medium (about 1 1/4 pounds) onions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 pound(s) boneless sirloin, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips

4 small (about 6 inches long) Italian or French loaves of bread, split open
1/2 cup(s) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup(s) shredded provolone cheese


Directions

1.Prepare the meat filling: In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat and sauté onions and sirloin until onions are soft -- about 3 minutes. Add chili powder, pepper, salt, Worcestershire, molasses, and garlic and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add red and green peppers and cook 3 more minutes.

Hawaii Five-Oh


Ingredients

1/4 cup(s) brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon(s) chili powder
3/4 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1 peeled and cored pineapple (found in the refrigerated produce section), cut into 5 thick slices
5 onion rolls
5 slice(s) Swiss cheese (enough to cover the bottom half of each bun)
5 slice(s) thick ham, or 10 thin ones
1 cup(s) spinach leaves
Dijon mustard


Directions

1.Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, chili powder, and vanilla extract in the plastic container that the pineapple came in. Put the sliced pineapple back in the container, pop on the lid, and swirl it around to coat the pineapple in the seasonings. Let the flavors soak in while you preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

2.Arrange the pineapple slices on the greased baking sheet. Roast them for 10 to 12 minutes on each side, using the tongs to flip them, until golden brown. During the last 5 minutes of roasting, heat up the buns in the oven. Put the ham and Swiss on the bottom halves of the buns so the meat heats up and the cheese melts. Then turn off the oven and use the oven mitts to remove the pineapple and the buns.

3.Build the sandwiches: Top each ham-and-cheese bottom bun with a slice of pineapple, then a handful of spinach. Spread Dijon mustard on the top half of each bun. Stack. Munch.
