    I stuff them with spinach, goat cheese and feta with a little lemon juice and breadcrumbs or oatmeal mixed in to make it stick, and then bake them. SO good.

    I make "pizza" out of them sometimes- sauce, cheese, sausage (if you like it). Also chopped tomatoes with mint and feta is delicious.

    Oh, I must do this!

    You don't have to cook anything in them ..... a little olive oil and a dot of butter. They will try out just like a burger! I use them often in place of ground beef in some things. Yum!

    Fetta and spinach is always great!
    I also like to cook it in a skillet lightly rubbed with light olive oil and use that as the meat in a sandwich with spinach instead of lettuce. Yumm!

    Amounts vary depending on how many caps and how big, but I like to do the following:

    Light/fat free cream cheese
    Light/fat free shredded mozzarella
    chopped green onions
    Light/fat free garlic croutons

    Crush the croutons in a bowl, then add cream cheese, mozzarella, and green onions. Mix to your liking. Cover the cap with mixture, you may want to cut out the stem if it's too long.

    Bake at 350 for 20-25 mins or until cheese is golden brown.

    I use black beans, black eyed peas, chick peas, mashed sweet potatoes, all mixed with delicious spicy spices and soooo good. There are so many choices! We do a lot of avocado in ours too. Schmeckt aber gut! I recommend. :)

    my favorite is a spinach artichoke dip.
    you can stuff i believe 6 large mushroom caps with this recipe, it's from allrecipes.com but i modified it to make it a little healthier

    1/4 cup plain greek yogurt (or 1/4 cup mayo as original recipe states)
    8 tbsp grated romano/asiago/parmesan cheese (the pre grated in the canister works fine)
    1 tsp minced garlic
    1 tsp dried basil
    1 can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
    10 oz package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
    1 package fat free cream cheese (or regular if you dont care about the calories)
    shredded mozzarella to top the mushrooms

    gut the mushroom caps, spray a baking pan with a ledge so the water from the mushrooms baking doesn't drip
    preheat oven to 350. combine all ingredients except shredded mozzarella in a bowl. stuff mushrooms, top with shredded cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes.

    i believe a mushroom cap is around 20 calories each, here are the macros for 6 servings of the spinach artichoke stuffing.
    per serving:
    144 cals, 4 iron, 387 sodium, 75 potassium, 1 fiber, 9 protein

    i made these large ones for christmas, and then small ones for a party. no one knew there was greek yogurt in them, and everyone ate that *kitten* up!

    here are the small ones i made:

    mushroom burgers are good too.
    clean and gut the mushrooms, i just sprinkle onion powder garlic powder and oregano on them. you can also marinate them in a balsamic vinegar if you'd like.
    i cook them on the george forman until they get shriveled and juicy. delish with provolone cheese and any other burger toppings you like

    also a good stuffing for them, is regular bread stuffing. i like to add sauted onions to it, and fresh spices and the stuffing mix and bake those bad boys.

    as others have said, a pizza one is good too with sauce, cheese and other toppings you like
