Portobello "Cheesesteaks"

Now, dont get me wrong.  Im a total meat eater.  However, Im also a mushroom fiend.  Mushrooms definitely rank up there on the list of my favourite vegetables.  Ive always said that if cooked properly, mushrooms really do taste just like meat & this recipe just proves that idea.

This recipe actually calls for you to put this on a sandwich but, I try to limit the amount of bread that I eat because bread (be it wheat, white, rye, whatever) makes me blow up like a balloon so, I opted out of that.
