These stuffed portobellos are filled with all the flavor of a Philly cheese steak or meatball sub but with the carbs! A delicious low carb, gluten free lunch or dinner
Stuffed portobellos have now become a staple in our family. I just love them and so does my hubby so it’s been a nice quick dinner during the summer months. A few months ago I made a Bacon Blue Cheese Burger Stuffed Portobello that we loved and more recently a Fajita Stuffed Portobellos. Today I am going to share with you two more ideas for stuffing your portobellos: Philly Steak & Cheese and Meatball Sub Stuffed Portobellos.
Before I get into the specifics, have you ever heard of Yummly? It a great place to save all your recipes just with a click of a button. I’ve added a Yum button to my site so if you want to save one of my recipes to your recipe box, just click the Yum button and it’s saved. Pretty cool huh? You can make your own categories and easily yum recipes from all your favorite websites by installing the Yum button to your toolbar too. Lastly it has a very comprehensive and unique recipe search function. You can search on holiday, cuisine, taste, diet restrictions, nutrition, allergy, cook time, technique, and more.
On to the recipe. The first thing you want to do is prepare your mushrooms by scraping off the gills underneath the cap and rubbing oil on both sides. Then you cook them for about 10 minutes in the oven. In the meantime prepare your toppings. For the Philly Steak and Cheese, I was able to find some steak at our grocery store that was real thin and I cut it into strips. I sautéed it along with some onions and green peppers. It only took a few minutes.
For the Meatball Sub, I used frozen meatballs and pasta sauce from a jar (I love Trader Joe’s Marinara) . I topped both kinds of mushrooms with shredded mozzarella and then set them under the broiler until the cheese was melted and brown.
And here they are below ready to eat. Believe me when I say they were delicious. The meaty portobellos go great with the steak, onions and peppers as well as the meatballs, sauce and cheese.
