Assemble on toasted bun, meat, roasted pepper, grilled sliced mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, grilled green onions, basil leaves, drizzle with balsamic glaze.  

Substitutions: Use pesto and mayo mixture in place of basil leaves. You can always use jarred roasted peppers or pimento, sliced hard mozzarella, or provolone. You may also add any type prosciutto, capocollo, and/or salami for topping as well. Substitute soy or Amino Acid Proteins for the Worcestershire. Substitute Italian seasonings for the Rec Tec spice blend. 

Cooking Options: Prepare as a meat loaf and serve as a meatloaf sandwich. You may blend crumbled gorgonzola cheese with mayo or use gorgonzola dressing in or on burger. 

Notes: Don’t rapid boil the vinegar, too hard of a boil makes it bitter. If the syrup gets too thick thin with water.
