Stroganoff Stuffed Portobellos Recipe

For 25 grams of protein, only 11 grams of carbohydrates (non-starchy carbs), and 2 grams fiber, you can enjoy these Stroganoff Stuffed Portobellos!

If you aren't a fan of mushrooms, that's no problem because you can use this same technique with bell pepper. All you'd need to do is to cut the bell pepper in half remove the seeds. Another alternative is to use zucchini. Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise and the middle scooped out would work beautifully too!

Enjoy!

Stroganoff Stuffed Portobellos Recipe

Recipe by: Annessa Chumbley, RD
Serves: 4, serving size: 1 portobello mushroom, plus 1/2 cup of filling
Prep time: 10 minutes; Total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 portobello mushrooms, stems and gills removed
• 1/2 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 2 cups grass-fed ground beef, fully cooked & seasoned
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

for the top

• Fresh parsley and cracked black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375º. Spray mushroom with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle with a little kosher salt, then place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 5-10 minutes. If the baking sheet has a lot of juice from the mushrooms, dab it up with a paper towel.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine bell pepper, ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, yogurt, and salt. Fold until everything is evenly mixed.
3. Scoop 1/2 cup of the mixture to each mushroom. Top each with 2 tablespoons of mozzarella. Cover with loosely with aluminum foil and return to oven for 10 minutes (by the way, to keep the foil from sticking to the cheese, give the underside of the foil a light spritz of cooking spray!) Remove the foil and bake additional 10 minutes. Serve immediately!

Notes:

– The hamburger mixture would also be great as a topping on spaghetti squash, or as a filling for zucchini or bell peppers. Not everyone "loves" Portobellos!
– Don’t forget, spray the aluminum foil with nonstick spray to avoid any risk of the cheese sticking to the foil. We want it on the stuffing and not stuck to the foil.
