This is a big hit with my family! I serve only 1 mushroom with a side of soup and refrigerate the others for another meal (like lunch the next day or an after-school snack). You can all so use small mushrooms to make appetizers.

These portobello mushrooms are a great vegetarian meal option. The mushrooms are large, hearty, and savory enough that you don't miss the meat. The rice, artichoke, onion, and bell pepper topping is delish. Seasoned perfectly, serve these stuffed mushrooms on their own, with a side salad, or a bowl of soup.
