Step 1: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and add sliced mushrooms, green pepper, onion, salt and pepper (if using).
Step 2: Cook over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until tender and onions begin to caramelize.
Step 3: If slicing your own bread, it works best if the bread is not sliced all the way through, but sort of hinged at one side.
Step 4: Place 5-6 ounces frozen steak-umms on a heated griddle or frypan and cook until nicely browned, shredding meat with forks or a spatula as it thaws and cooks, and shaping meat into a bun-shaped pile.
Step 5: Drain off any fat as it accumulates in the pan.
Step 6: Place some of the cooked vegetable mixture on the pile of cooking meat.
Step 7: When meat is done to your liking, place opened hoagie roll over meat and use a long spatula to lift sandwich and turn it over.
Step 8: Put any dropped filling into the bun.
Step 9: Add sliced banana peppers to sandwich and any condiments (mustard or mayo).
Step 10: Place 2 (1-ounce each) slices provolone cheese over filling (or you may add melted cheddar spread at this point).
Step 11: Microwave sandwich for 30-45 seconds or until bun has softened and cheese is melted, if desired.
Step 12: Slice in half and serve hot.
Step 13: Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
