Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

NOTE:  I have no photos of this recipe!  They were gone before I could get the camera.  They were really pretty, too.


I had never had a portobello mushroom until I met my husband.  I had never heard of a portabello mushroom until I met my husband.  I had a super hard craving for some last night and decided tonight I'd broil some for dinner.  You can also grill these and they are super good.

Stuffed Portobello Mushroom Burgers
Serves 3

1-3 pack of portobello mushrooms
4 button mushrooms
1/2 small red onion, diced
1/2 large tomato, diced
1/2 cup Oily Italian Dressing
3-4 strips of bacon, diced
Provolone Cheese
hamburger bun
Salt and pepper

Clean your mushrooms.  In a shallow bowl, pour the oily Italian dressing.  Brush portobello mushrooms with the dressing and let the mushrooms sit in oil for 30 minutes.

Dice your 4 button mushrooms, tomato and onion (MTO), mix together, add a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper.  Dice the bacon and fry until crisp in a skillet.  Add to the MTO mixture.

Spray a broiler pan with cooking spray.  Take the mushroom, tomato, and onion mixture and top the portobello's.  Top with the provolone cheese.  Place under the broiler for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted, OR place in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.

Take the remaining red onion and button mushrooms and slice, saute in bacon grease until the onion is soft, add the mushrooms, and turn off the heat.  Mix together in a bowl and add what is left of the oily Italian dressing.

Take the hamburger buns, add the stuffed mushroom, top with sauteed onion and mushrooms.
