Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms are a flavorful and filling dinner to make on the grill or bake in the oven. Italian Sausage mixed with cooked rice, onions, bell peppers and garlic all topped off with a creamy green chile sauce.

If I can’t decide what to cook, I almost always end up making sausage and pepper rice. Since it’s such a family favorite, it made a fantastic filling for the gorgeous portobello mushrooms we found at the grocery store.

Ingredients Needed:

cleaning portobello mushroom for stuffing

  • Portobello Mushrooms ~ Wiped clean with a damp paper towel with stems and gills removed and reserved for stuffing. 
  • Italian Sausage ~ Spicy or mild will work with this recipe, breakfast sausage is great too.
  • Olive Oil ~ For cooking the vegetable filling and coating the mushrooms before cooking.
  • Onion ~ For the filling. Use yellow or white onion, either works fine.
  • Bell Peppers ~ We used a combination of red and green, use what you have on hand.
  • Fresh Garlic ~ Adds delicious flavor to the filling.
  • Cooked Rice ~ A hearty addition to the filling. If you are going low carb, skip the rice or use cauliflower rice
  • Kosher Salt & Pepper 

For the Creamy Green Chile Sauce:

  • Sour Cream
  • Mayonnaise
  • Lime Zest & Juice
  • Green Chile Powder ~ If you are new to green chile powder, it’s my new favorite spice. I’m using Spiceology or I’ve also seen another brand on Amazon.
  • Granulated Garlic
  • Kosher Salt & Pepper
  • Ground Cumin
