Meatball Stuffed Mushrooms
Bake a meatball inside of a mushroom cap with marinara sauce and mozzarella for the best appetizer!
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Cremini Mushrooms (Baby Bella)
- 400 grams Lean Ground Beef
- ½ cup Panko Crumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 3 cloves Garlic crushed
- 1 cup Marinara Sauce divided
- 1 tablespoon Dry Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1½ cup Grated Mozzarella Cheese
- ¼ cup Fresh Basil finely chopped
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350F and lining a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Remove the stems from the mushrooms and reserve the stems for later. Place the mushroom caps top side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Chop up the mushroom stems very finely and add them to a large bowl with the ground beef, garlic, egg, panko crumbs, ¼ cup marinara sauce and the spices.
- Mix the meatball mixture until smooth. Shape 24 meatballs, about 1-inch in diameter. Place them in the mushroom cavities. Press down gently so that they are well secured.
- Divide the remaining ¾ cup of marinara sauce evenly over the top of the meatballs. Top each meatball with grated mozzarella, dividing it as equally as possible.
- Place the prepared Meatball Stuffed Mushrooms into the preheated oven. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatball reaches a minimum of 160F.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkled the meatballs with finely chopped fresh basil.
