Created by: Howcan Team

Ingredients

1 pound tasso meat, thinly sliced
2 large onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 hoagie rolls
4 slices provolone cheese
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until they start to soften.
Sprinkle the sugar over the onions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for another 15-20 minutes until the onions are caramelized and golden brown. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced tasso meat and cook for 5-7 minutes until it is browned and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Open the hoagie rolls and place a slice of provolone cheese on one side of each roll. Place the rolls on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the rolls are lightly toasted.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread the mixture on the other side of each hoagie roll.
Divide the cooked tasso meat among the hoagie rolls, then top with the caramelized onions. Close the sandwiches and serve immediately.
