Stuffed Mushrooms
Ingredients
- 1 lb PRE Beef ground beef
- 2 strips bacon, crumbled
- handful of spinach, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (check to be certain it’s Whole30 compatible)
- 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper
- mushrooms of choice, big enough to stuff, stems removed and saved
- dash of balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ yellow onion, diced
Instructions
PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
HEAT some oil in a pan over med-high heat. Throw in diced onions and a few dashes of balsamic. Turn heat down to med-low and let the onions cook until caramelized, stirring occasionally.
PUT cooked onions in a bowl and set aside. Cut up bacon and cook in same skillet. Add cooked bacon to bowl with the onions.
REMOVE stems from mushrooms and chop very finely.
ADD ground beef, Italian seasoning, chopped mushroom stems, and chopped spinach to bowl with bacon and onions. Mix well.
STUFF into mushrooms and bake for 20-25 min on a baking sheet.
SPRINKLE salt and pepper over the top when finished. Serve and enjoy!
