PORTABELLA MUSHROOM AND BACON SANDWICH

This recipe was sent to me by Elaine Baird, a friend from my high school graduating class. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks delicious.

Here is what she says:

I created something for a whole wheat hotdog bun with a portabella mushroom.
  
I sliced the mushroom, fried it in organic sesame seed oil, adding a little butter while sauteing, then I decided to flavor with two pieces of thick bacon cut across in to four pieces.  

I adorned a whole wheat hot dog bun with some mustard and placed the bacon and portabella mushroom on the hotdog bun.  

John and I ate 1 and 1/2 buns for lunch.  They have a meat like flavor and seasoning, and frying them is very tasty with a little meat added or a meat substitute if you like.  These mushrooms are so large that they are a good buy to replace a meat taste in a casserole or sandwich.  

BLT (Bacon Lettuce Tomato) SANDWICH

Here is a quick, delicious BLT - don't have to take time to 

cook the bacon or be left with the smell.

Makes 1 sandwich

Toast two slices of whole wheat bread (I especially like 
     Great Grains Multigrain.)

Slice half a medium tomato.

Spread Mayo with olive oil (Kraft) on each slice of bread.

Spread Ketchup over mayo.

Liberally sprinkle each slice of bread with packaged 
     real crumbled bacon.

Place lettuce leaves on one bread slice, then top with 
     tomato slices.

Sprinkle with salt, if desired. 

Put the other bread slice on top, condiment side down.

Slice with a sharp knife diagonally through the sandwich.

Enjoy!

Options:

Add a slice or two of deli-sliced turkey on top of tomatoes.
Heat the turkey slice in the microwave until slightly browned.

Add slices of avocado.
