INSTRUCTIONS

  3. Chop up the mushroom stems into small pieces.
  4. In a large bowl, add the chopped mushroom stems, cooked pork, spinach, cream cheese, 1/2 c. panko breadcrumbs, and 1 c. of provolone cheese. Stir well until fully combined.
  5. Scoop 2-3 tsp of the filling and stuff each mushroom. You may have more or less in each mushroom depending on its size. Use your hands to really form it into the mushroom. It is okay to make sure the stuffing if heaping.
