Ingredients

12 large cremini or button mushrooms, stems removed
1 pound ground beef
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Prepare Mushrooms: Clean the mushroom caps with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Chop the stems finely and set aside.
Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Add chopped mushroom stems, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Make the Filling: Remove the skillet from heat, then stir in the cream cheese and half of the mozzarella cheese until combined.
Stuff Mushrooms: Spoon the beef mixture generously into each mushroom cap. Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake: Drizzle a little olive oil over the mushrooms and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
