Easy Keto Sausage Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
Need a hearty and healthy keto meal?
You all have to try these cheesy sausage stuffed mushrooms! This is such an easy keto dinner idea to add to your weekly meal rotation. A portobello mushroom cap gets stuffed with a flavorful marinara sausage filling, and then topped with cheese, for a melted gooey meaty mushroom. It’s super filling and satisfying too, which is awesome!
Hip Tips:
- Pick a low in carb marinara sauce. Rao’s marinara sauce worked great in the recipe. We did a taste test of keto-friendly pasta sauces and Rao’s won!
- Make sure to scrape the gills from the inside of the mushroom caps first. I used a serrated grapefruit spoon and it worked perfectly.

Ingredients
- 6 portobello mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper

- 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions
1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prep a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
2
Clean mushroom caps and scrape out the gills from inside the mushroom. Arrange them on the sheet pan. Brush the mushrooms with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Set aside.

Heat a skillet on the stove to medium heat, brown and cook sausage. Drain the grease, but reserve a little to saute veggies. Transfer ground pork out of the skillet to a separate bowl, and set aside.
4
To the skillet add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Saute them until soft and translucent. Season with the oregano.
5
Add the meat back into skillet. Add marinara sauce to the skillet as well, and stir all to combine. Season mixture with salt and pepper. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, and remove from heat.
6
Spoon the meat mixture on top of each mushroom. Top each with the shredded cheeses.
7
Place the portobellos into the oven for about 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and the mushrooms are tender.

These stuffed portobellos are delish!
These are so good, and would appeal to people who are keto and those who are not. For instance, my husband LOVED this recipe and is quick to tell me if keto meals aren’t good- LOL. I also love that these mushrooms are an easy meal to put together any night of the week.

Can I cook all ingredients and stuff the mushrooms and freeze for a later day Or cook everything then freeze
Great question, Anita! The filling seems to have ingredients that should freeze without trouble, so you could do that, then stuff fresh mushrooms when you’re ready to cook. You could try to freeze the mushrooms as well, but may turn a little watery when reheated. We haven’t personally tested this recipe with prepping and freezing ahead of time, so if you try it out, let us know what you think! 🤗❤️
