Stuffed Italian Mushrooms (Gluten Free)
These easy stuffed Italian mushrooms will remind you of your favorite pasta bolognese, but without all the gluten, carbs, or starch! Perfect as an appetizer to serve at a dinner party, or paired with a green salad, these mushrooms would be the perfect meal!
Ingredients
- 24 oz (680g) mushrooms
- 2 tsp (9g) olive oil
- 1/2 (60g) small onion, fine chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb (454g) lean ground beef (I used 96%)
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 2 cans 8oz tomato sauce
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp basil
- 1/4-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 slices (40g) provolone cheese
- 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Clean mushroom and remove stems. Finely chop mushroom stems.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tsp of olive oil
- Once pan is hot, add mushroom stems, chopped onion and garlic to the pan and saute for 3-4 minutes until fragrant, and moisture from the mushrooms has cooked out.
- Add your lean ground beef and cook until brown. I used a very lean ground beef so I didn't have any fat to drain. If you use a higher fat ground beef, you'll want to drain off the fat.
- Add in your tomato sauce, salt, basil, oregano and red pepper flakes.
- Stir and continue to cook until sauce is reduced, about 3 minutes.
- Fill mushroom caps with meat sauce. Note, there will be some sauce remaining. I like to serve the baked Italian mushrooms on a bed of meat sauce.
- Top each mushroom cap with a small piece of provolone cheese and a sprinkle of parsley.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until mushrooms are tender and cheese is melted.
- Serve Italian Mushrooms on a bed of meat sauce with a green salad or your favorite vegetables!
