Veggie Philly style sandwich is a veggie-focused version of the classic Philadelphia sandwich.
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Land O Lakes® and the FeedFeed as always, all opinions are my own.
Everyone knows that Philadelphia is notorious for the gooey and cheesy steak sandwich, but there are there are so many other great sandwiches that Philly has to offer. Just about every one of them is packed with meat, like Italian Hoagies and one of my favorites, roast pork and broccoli rabe. To help spread the sandwich love even more to my friends, I am transforming the classic roast pork sandwich into a veggie-filled, meat-free version.
Mushrooms are my go-to meat stand in. They have a meaty texture and they soak up all of the flavors that they are cooked with. When I make this veggie riff on the roast pork sandwich, I slice the mushrooms thin and cook them with a dose of garlic and a splash of red wine.
While the mushrooms are cooking, the broccoli rabe is sauteed in olive oil with even more garlic until soft and tender. All of the veggies are piled onto a whole grain baguette and topped with creamy and delicious Land O Lakes® Deli American,
Adding Land O Lakes® Deli American to this sandwich is just like the icing on the cake. It's so creamy, melts perfectly and adds just the right amount of flavor to the sandwich.
When I buy Land O Lakes® Deli American from my local deli counter, I always buy extra because I know it won't last long in my house. It livens up a boring sandwich at lunchtime, and It's also perfect for grabbing a slice for a quick snack.

These sandwiches look and sound really delicious. I'm not a vegetarian but I like meatless sandwiches too and I Love (with a capital 'L') broccoli rabe!
Stine Mari says
Mushroom is my stand in for meat too, I think it tastes great and is full in umami. This sandwich looks out of this world delicious! I would love to have this right now!
shobelyn says
Yeah i love mushroom in everything, and that include my sandwich too. With the creamy land O lakes butter in it, I bet the taste of this sandwich is top notch.
Jenni LeBaron says
Mushrooms are brilliant in these. You're right that they really soak up all of the flavor and juices the same way meat does and provide excellent texture. These look delicious!
Fiona Maclean says
That looks delicious. I don't think we get land o lakes here - but I agree 100% about mushroom being a good 'meat'. I make a great portobello mushroom burger;)
Veena Azmanov says
I love mushrooms anything and this sounds so delicious. Roast pork sandwiches in a nice crusty bread sounds like a great dinner for me on a weekday. Saving this for later.
Courtney says
Mushrooms are one of my favourite vegetarian substitutions for meat as well, and one of my favourite things to eat! This sandwich sounds delcicious! I love everything about it from the mushrooms, to the greens, to the cheese!

Thank you Courtney!
Kiki Johnson says
This type of sandwich is what I would totally order at a bistro lunch somewhere about town! I have never made myself a really fancy sandwich at home though. I guess it is time, huh? This vegetarian version looks just right!
anne says
It may look fancy Kiki, but it's easy to make!
Michelle says

Enjoy Michelle!

Look at the veggies on that sandwich! Looks amazing. The traditional philly steak sandwich is still my favorite, but this is a wonderful twist that I'll definitely have to try

Since we are a mushroom lover family, I can prepare this sandwich for us. Loving this colourful, healthy and filling sandwich.

What a fun spin on a classically meat-heavy dish! Love the combination of veggies you've packed in here. Looks like a great, healthier alternative that my family would love!
Nicole says
We try to eat meatless around here as much as possible, and I love that this sandwich is packed full of veggies. It would be so filling and satisfying, and I know that I wouldn't miss the meat.

Oh this looks GOOD! I love the little flecks of chili and the vibrant greens. You've made me seriously hungry.
