I got this idea from a weight watchers recipe and modified it to make it just a tad more tasty. It is probably a little more in points (for those of you that keep track) at 1 pt per two mushrooms, but they turned out phenominal!
Ingrediants:
12 large button mushrooms (the kind you buy individually)
1 bunch fresh spinach washed and chopped small, or 1 pck frozen chopped spinach
1 red pepper chopped small
1 bunch green onions chopped
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
garlic powder
salt
pepper
creole seasoning (or any kind of cajun seasoning really)
Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Wash mushrooms and remove stems (keep stems). Wash and chop spinach, red pepper, green onions and the stems of the mushrooms only and set aside. Heat skillet and sautee all veges together until spinach is wilted and the mixture is slightly damp, remove and put in a bowl. Add bread crumbs, cheese and seasonings to taste and mix well until bread crumbs soak up moisture from veges. Add more bread crumbs if needed. Stuff your mushrooms with mixture and place on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with cajun seasoning over the top. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes, remove and eat immediately.
There were great the first night, but boy the second day they were really fantastic. I guess the mixture had time to mingle. I suggest making these overnight and baking the next day if you have time, that would be great too. Also, you can use smaller mushrooms for a party if you wanted.
This is a wonderful side dish because you don't have to make anything else (starch, veges all in one). I made a simple baked chicken and served these on the side.
