Making it Monday: Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms

Are you the type of person that loves pizza and would eat it everyday if you could?  High five because I am too!  Because I try to advocate for change in your same old "usual" dinner and try to inspire you to spice up your kitchen recipes, I have a pizza recipe that is still cheesy and full of ooey-gooey deliciousness but a little lower in carbs and chalked full of vegetables.  This must be too good to be true!

Crazy and I decided to both do the "Making it Monday" segment this week to give you a great recipe but also maybe entertain a little more.  I mean we do call it Crazy Cool in the Kitchen!

Check out the video at the link below:

Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms

4 Portabella mushrooms, stemmed and cleaned
1/2 c. Balsamic or Italian dressing
1 lb. Turkey Sausage
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1/2 c. Zucchini, diced
1/2 c. Green Pepper, diced
2 cloves, minced
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/2 c. Marinara
1/3 c. Parmesan, shredded
1/2 c. Mozzarella, shredded

Coat the mushrooms in dressing, and set aside.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large skillet over medium heat cook sausage for 3 minutes.  Add in the olive oil, zucchini, green peppers, and garlic until meat is thoroughly cooked about 7 more minutes, until there is no pink.  Drain meat, if needed, and add the marinara, italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese to the meat mixture.  Take one mushroom and stuff each one with 1/2 c. of meat mixture and cook in the oven for 10 minutes.  Take the mushrooms out and top with the mozzarella cheese.  Place back in the oven to melt cheese about 6-10 minutes.
