How to Make Mexican Stuffed Mushrooms

  1. Twist mushroom stems free from caps. Trim dried ends from stems and finely chop.
  2. In a medium frying pan, combine 1 cup chopped mushroom stems, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/4 cup water.
  3. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until water evaporates and vegetables begin to brown (about 5-7 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup tomato sauce and 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color). Add 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup unseasoned stuffing mix.
  6. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with olive oil cooking spray.
  7. Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of the stuffing mixture into each mushroom cap.
  8. Arrange stuffed mushrooms in the prepared baking pan.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese over the mushrooms.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
