These Vegetarian Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms are a tasty way to enjoy lots of veggies and are full of pizza flavor.
Today I have an easy vegetarian recipe for a "Meatless Monday" meal.
I initially was planning on putting turkey pepperoni in there, but that would have required a trip to the grocery store.
And I was just not in the mood.
But these stuffed mushrooms are so amazing, that even a meat lover will enjoy them.
Or you could add some {¼ cup} chopped pepperoni or even cooked sausage in there if you wanted.
If you like pizza but are looking for something with more veggies your typical slice of pizza, these pizza-stuffed mushrooms are great.
They have a tasty pizza flavor but are packed with veggies.
I like to serve with a side of garlic bread or something for a more satisfying meal.
I love eating stuffed vegetables... Stuffed squash, stuffed zucchini, stuffed mushrooms, stuffed peppers, stuffed artichokes, stuffed avocado.
It makes me happy because you end up consuming more than one veggie, and that makes me feel good.
