Empty out the mushrooms and fill them with minced meat, top with cheese and bake. In just a few minutes you can make a delicious mouthwatering dish!
Do you need to precook the meatballs?
Not at all! The meatballs will get all the heat they need to thoroughly cook through when prepared as described in the recipe.
How to make them:
In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together the ground beef with salt, pepper and parsley.
Scoop up about one tablespoon of the meat mixture, roll it into a ball, and place it on top of a mushroom.
Bake at 180° for 20 minutes.
Remove the stuffed meatballs from the oven, sprinkle them with mozzarella cheese, then toss them back in the oven until the cheese melts.
