Portabella Mushrooms No Bun No Extra Cheese Recipes

PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS - NO BUN, NO EXTRA CHEESE

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 375 F.
• 2. Clean the mushrooms with a paper towel, then remove the stems. Clean the underside with a medium size spoon, removing the brown scale-like texture, which is referred to as the gills.
• 3. Brush both the top and underside of mushroom with olive oil if desired.
• 4. You will need a shallow pan like a jelly roll type. Spray with non-stick cooking spray and add each of the mushrooms. Set aside until needed.
• 5. Chop the stems along with the red bell pepper, mini sweet peppers and garlic, or use a food processor.
• 6. Add the olive oil to a large skillet. Then add the peppers with mushroom stems and saute until tender and transparent. Remove from heat and set aside.
• 7. Now slice the onions. Top each mushroom cap with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese. Then add two onion slices on top of each cheese slice.
• 8. Divide the sauteed pepper mixture evenly atop each of the mushrooms.
• 9. Next, when cool enough to handle, wrap each mushroom portion with 2 slices of the smoked bacon strips, over the top in a crisscross pattern and tucking underneath. Repeat until all are wrapped.
• 10. Now place the pan in preheated 375 degree oven and bake for 25 minutes.
• 11. Then, increase the temperature to 400 degrees and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes or until bacon is cooked crisp and golden brown, or as desired.
• 12. Serve without bun for low carb eating, or with a bun, as desired, with the suggested condiments. Enjoy.
