Meatless Monday, Portabello Mushroom Recipe!

I was misled into thinking eating a vegetarian meal for dinner and I wouldn't have enough protein to fill me up! If you are wondering 'should I try a vegetarian meal?  Is there enough protein and does it taste good?'
The answer: Yes! It tastes delicious, always very filling, and biting into the mushrooms gives you the sense you are still having a hearty meal. Try out this stuffed portobello mushroom and enjoy an evening without meat for you and your special someone, or family!!

Ingredients:
(One Serving)
2 Large Portabello Mushrooms
1 Tomato, diced (small)
1-2 Garlic Cloves Minced/Crushed
2 Large handfuls of fresh baby spinach, chopped
1/4  cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Pinch of Mrs. Dash Original No Sodium
1/4 cup Italian Dressing-Your Choice
Pepper to Taste
1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth or water

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Wipe your mushrooms caps with a damp cloth to clean. Cut or pull the mushroom stem off and remove the gills on the underside of the caps if you wish (I prefer so I have more room for filling).

In a small bowl combine the tomato, garlic, spinach, feta, mozzarella, Mrs. Dash seasoning, italian dressing, and pepper in a bowl. Toss together.

Place the mushrooms in a small baking dish, and evenly divide the mixture and stuff into the caps. Don't worry about over stuffing as the mixture will wilt as they bake.  If you have extra cheese, feel free to sprinkle on top, although it really does not need it.

Pour chicken broth/water in the bottom of the baking dish and Bake for 30 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
