How to make chilli stuffed Portabello mushrooms
Saturday, September 23, 2017
I love chilli con carne and these chilli stuffed portabello mushrooms are one of my favourite serving suggestions. All the flavour of the chilli and mushroom and none of the carbs! Better still, mushrooms are really good for us and deserve to be celebrated!
Mushrooms are great in all sorts of dishes and be a really good alternative to meat. I particularly love these Portabello mushrooms stuffed with Chilli and topped with cheese. They really are delicious and perfect if you are cutting back on carbs.
Chilli is one of my favourite foods and I may be biased but I do think my recipe is rather special. I’m happy to share it with you lovely people if you want to give it a try. Use it in the mushrooms and any leftovers will be perfect on a baked potato or over nachos with some sour cream, salsa, guacamole, jalapeños and grated cheese.
To make the chilli stuffed mushrooms, just make my chilli recipe below (these work just as well with bolognese sauce), remove the stalks from the mushrooms, fill with chilli and top with grated cheese. Bake in the oven for around 20-30 mins until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
