Ingredients
- 4 large portabella mushroom caps
- 1 pound 90 to 94 percent lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoon chopped onion
- 1/4 cup diced poblano pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 cup shredded, reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided
Directions
- Preheat broiler on low. Remove stems, and gently scrape out the gills from the underside of the mushroom cap and discard. Rub olive oil onto mushrooms and place on a baking sheet. Broil until tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook beef with onion, pepper, and garlic in a large skillet until brown over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, add tomatoes and spices, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Divide the mixture into four portions, and then scoop one portion into each mushroom cap (serve any excess filling alongside the mushroom). Sprinkle one ounce of cheese on top of each mushroom.
