Pennsylvania is often referred to the mushroom capital of the world. 63% of the United States white mushroom crop is grown in this state. What is better than stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer or even stuffed portabellas as a main entree? This tasty ground beef filling is chock full of hidden veggies and lots of flavor. I will often triple this recipe, stuff, and bake the mushrooms. They then can be frozen in a single layer on a cookie sheet. When totally frozen; vacuum pack in bags and return to the freezer. In need of a quick meal–defrost and heat.

This filling is very versatile and works very well to stuff zucchini or summer squash. Top this meat filling with spaghetti sauce and cheese for a tasty Italian style-entree. These stuffed squash freeze very well, also. I freeze them individually. When totally frozen; vacuum pack and return to the freezer. You can get a taste of summer in the middle of a cold, blustery, winter day.
