{Foodie Fridays} Pork-Stuffed Mushrooms
A few weeks ago, Farmer John sent me a care package of food products for me to get creative in the kitchen. I haven’t used ground pork much in the past but when I do buy it, I prefer it extra lean and high quality meat, which is exactly what I got.
Inspired by my crab-stuffed mushrooms (and the glorious mushroom caps I got at Costco) I decided to try my hand at some pork-stuffed mushrooms and boy were they tasty! You don’t need many ingredients and the mushrooms are satisfying enough to be served as a meal with a side salad. Plus, it’s an easy “prep ahead” meal that can be made and served hot when it’s time for dinner. Recipe below!
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Farmer John ground pork
- 6 jumbo portobello mushroom caps
- 1/2 red pepper
- 1/2 yellow pepper
- 1/2 orange pepper
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 1/2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
- Garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Saute peppers and onions in olive oil.
- Add spinach and cover until wilted. About 2 minutes.
- Season ground pork with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add to pot, cover and cook until meat is brown.
- Add shredded mozzarella and parmesan.
- Stuff the mushroom caps and top with shredded parmesan or mozzarella if desired.
- Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
You can easily make the meat mixture ahead for dinner parties and refrigerate! Then just stuff the mushroom caps, bake and serve.
