Ingredients
For the Stuffed Mushrooms
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 12 large portobello or button mushrooms, stems removed
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the stuffed mushrooms.
- Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Once cooked, drain any excess fat to keep the filling rich but not greasy.
- Combine Filling: In a mixing bowl, add the cooked beef, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined and creamy.
- Stuff Mushrooms: Take each mushroom cap and fill it generously with the beef and cheese mixture. Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet, ensuring they sit upright to keep the filling inside.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness, and serve warm.
Notes
- You can use either portobello or large button mushrooms depending on your preference; portobellos provide a meatier texture.
- Make sure to soften cream cheese beforehand for easier mixing.
- Drain the cooked beef well to avoid soggy mushrooms.
- These can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top before baking.
