Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 1 medium, diced bell pepper
- 12 ounces ground beef substitute
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces dairy-free cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces whole wheat sandwich rolls
- 1 cup, shredded romaine lettuce
- 1 large, sliced tomato
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and cook until they become soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the ground beef substitute to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and heated through, about 5-6 minutes.
Season the mixture with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.
Reduce the heat to low, and place the dairy-free cheddar cheese slices over the beef substitute mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt, taking around 2-3 minutes.
Lightly toast the sandwich rolls on a separate pan or in a toaster.
Place a layer of shredded romaine lettuce on the bottom halves of each roll.
Spoon the cheesy beef mixture over the lettuce evenly among the rolls.
Top with sliced tomatoes and close the sandwiches with the top halves of the rolls.
Serve the sandwiches immediately while warm.
