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'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

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

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
