Introduction

Number of Servings: 1

Ingredients

    1 green pepper
    4 tsp minced garlic
    ground black pepper, to taste
    1 medium yellow onion
    2 tbsp light whipped salad dressing
    1 slice low-fat cheddar cheese
    1 slice low-fat American cheese
    2 whole wheat hamburger buns
    1/4 cup sliced button mushrooms

Directions

Cut the green pepper and onion into thick chunks, discarding the seeds, peel, and undesirable flesh.
Spray a pan with cooking spray and heat on medium-low.
Add the green pepper, onion, and minced garlic. Sprinkle generously with ground black pepper, stir vegetables, and cover.
Alternate between stirring, leaving covered, and spraying vegetables with cooking spray, when needed.
When the green peppers and onions are almost done cooking, add the button mushrooms and stir.
Continue cooking for a few minutes.
Cut both the American cheese and the cheddar cheese into quarters and spread out on top of vegetables and lower heat.
While cheese is melting, spread the salad dressing on the whole wheat hamburger buns.
After cheese is completely melted, top the buns and serve.

    Portebello mushrooms are a better choice because they are meatier in texture and flavor. - 3/8/10

    I would use EVOO instead of spray. I like the portabello mushroom instead of bun suggestion. Also, I'd add extra veggies like yellow and red bell pepper and celery. You're not really adding calorie, but you're adding crunch and flavor, not to mention health with the good stuff in veggies. - 11/28/08

    I agree with the last post. Sharing recipes is a community-minded gift. If you have a problem with a recipe, health-related or otherwise, just modify it or don't make it at all. Why attack someone who's sharing an idea? - 8/7/08

    I'm confused. This is just a regular sandwich with no meat. I would try it using seitan for the steak. That way it would have protein & substance. I would also use skim mozzarella for the cheese that's what's on this type of sandwich. It sounds like a big mac with no patty, which what's the point? - 8/7/08

    I am from Philly. A cheesesteak is not a cheesesteak on a hamburger bun. Try chicken cheesesteak! Wonderful! A black bean spread is also great. - 12/16/10

    Caution: It looks like the calories for the whole wheat buns are "understated" to say the least. "4 calories of Old Tyme 100% Whole Wheat Rolls, (2 serving)" can't possibly correct. I suggest that you go over the calorie (and sodium) count in its entirety before you decide to make it for you. - 11/17/10

    Very yummy!! Thank you for referring to it as a Philly Cheesesteak and not incorrectly as a "Philly" or a "Steak and Cheese" as most people do. :) - 11/17/10

    This sounds sooo delicious! Will definitely make this, as the meaty version is too greasy and heavy for me. - 11/17/10

    This is a great recipe...I need the whole grain bun for my daily fiber intake and I so love peppers and mushrooms!! I have yellow, red and serrano in the fridge now!The cheese will be low salt-low fat and I will also use diet mayo. Fresh ground pepper, and raw red onion slices on top! Great lunch! - 3/8/10

    I made this for lunch, and it was excellant! How can you go wrong with veggies and cheeze. I added up the sodium for a serving with my low-fat cheeses and came up with 425 per serving. I think someone hit another number by mistake. By that is ok, we need to figure this good stuff out too! YUM! - 11/27/08
