This was a last minute decision for dinner and all I had to shop for was a few of the ingredients to match up with what I already had at home. Lots of great veggies and a little cheese. A delicious combination of flavors that anyone can enjoy. If you're a vegan you can leave off the cheese and you can enjoy this dish too. It's warm and comforting and makes for a great dinner and it's meat-free. An Italian inspired meal.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Good golly miss Molly, these stuffed mushrooms are incredible. This is packed with vegetables that all complement each other. Bread crumbs absorb some of the moisture and add texture and flavor. These stuffed portabellas are so hearty no one will ever believe they're vegetarian. A perfect blend of Italian flavors, the mushrooms are rustic, delicious, hearty, and have a meaty texture.
