Pizza Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

These pizza stuffed portobello mushrooms are an easy, gluten free and low carb way of enjoying a pizza-like dish. The trick to this dish is to first roast the mushroom caps without any of the sauce or toppings. This way, you can drain all the accumulated liquids and will result in the dish being less watery.

In this recipe, the portobello mushroom caps are first roasted in the oven. After draining the accumulated water, the sauce is spooned into the caps. Then, the Italian sausage and green peppers are added into the caps. Finally, the cheese is sprinkled on top and the caps are returned to the oven one last time to melt the cheese. The result is a delicious pizza-like dish that you can enjoy on a low carb or gluten free diet. The great thing about this dish is that it’s versatile and you can use any of your favorite pizza ingredients and you can easily make this dish vegetarian by substituting the Italian sausage with more vegetables. Enjoy!
