You are going to love these meatloaf stuffed portobello mushrooms. These mushrooms are a delicious low carb dinner that you can eat or freeze for later and they are only 4.5g net carbs each!
Every once in awhile I go on a portobello kick. I have quite a few recipes on the site stuffed mushrooms but sometimes we just like them plain on the grill. They are so meaty and moist on their own but when you stuff them with something tasty like this meatloaf, you got yourself a winner.
Today I made these low carb meatloaf stuffed portobello mushrooms because I wanted to have a quick lunch or dinner in the freezer for days when I don’t want to eat what everyone else is eating but I still want something good!
While I have a lot of portobello mushroom recipes on this site, I also have a few meatloaf recipes . So you can see I am a fan of both foods and luckily for me they go together perfectly. For this recipe I topped them with my low carb barbecue sauce from my barbecue burgers that I keep in the refrigerator.
So to make these lovely mushrooms, you first clean out the gills of the mushrooms and then stuff them with the meatloaf mixture. Then I spread about a tablespoon of the sauce on each and baked for 30 minutes. They came out fantastic!
By the way, while I used my own sauce, I’m sure there are some great low carb barbecue sauces or ketchups out there. This barbecue sauce and this Heinz ketchup look good to me, but if you know of a good one, drop a line in the comments. I’d love to share that with my readers.
If you don’t care about carbs, you can use regular barbecue sauce or ketchup if you like. The rest of the recipe would be the same.
meatloaf stuffed portobello mushrooms
I hope you enjoy these compact dinner mushrooms. One is plenty for me and I like to eat, so I would figure 1 mushroom per person. The nutrition for 1 meatloaf stuffed mushroom is:
325 cals / 17g fat/ 35.8g protein / 4.5g net carbs
1 tablespoon bbq sauce = 24 cals / 1.8g fat / 0.2g protein = 1.4g net carbs

June 28, 2018 at 3:16 pmI love these type of dishes. The portobello mushrooms are so good and meaty I never miss the bread when I use the mushroom to hold my filling/meat. I’m definitely going to try your version. We’re stopping at the store tomorrow and I’ll check out their mushrooms.
