Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion, and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

  2. 2

    Add Mushrooms

    Add the wild mushrooms to the skillet and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the vegetables are well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bison

    In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground bison and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the bison is cooked, add the sautéed vegetables to the skillet with the bison and mix well. Cook together for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Cheesesteaks

    Slice the Turano hoagie rolls lengthwise, leaving one side intact. Fill each roll with the bison and vegetable mixture, and top generously with shredded queso blanco.

  6. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    If desired, place the assembled hoagies under a broiler for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese and toast the rolls slightly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the broiler, let cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve immediately.
