Dinner: Portabella Pizza

Prep Time: 5 mins

Cook Time: 20 mins

Total Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

4 large portabella mushrooms (or mushroom caps)
1 tbsp. olive oil
½ medium yellow onion, chopped
½ medium green pepper, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
⅛ tsp. salt
⅛ tsp. ground black pepper
½ cup prepared pizza sauce
½ cup part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tbsp. parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove stems from mushroom caps.
2. Place mushroom caps on a cookie sheet, smooth side down. Bake for 10 minutes.
3. In the meantime, add the oil to a skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion and green pepper to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the garlic, salt, and pepper and cook for 1 additional minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
4. Remove the mushrooms from the oven. Soak up any excess moisture inside the mushroom caps with paper towels. Place 2 tbsp. of pizza sauce in each mushroom cap and spread it to the edges of the mushroom. Divide the green pepper mixture evenly between the mushroom caps. Then top each mushroom with 2 tbsp. mozzarella and ½ tbsp. parmesan cheese.
5. Return the mushrooms to the oven to cook for 10 more minutes. Serve hot.

Notes:
If you don't like green pepper, onion, and garlic on your pizza, skip that part and add whatever toppings you like. You could add sliced pepperoni, cooked sausage, black olives, etc.
