Macaroni and Cheese Portobella Mushroom

THIS WEEK’S CRAVINGS Linky Party #61

The Theme is: Macaroni and Cheese
(Please share with us your favorite Macaroni and Cheese Recipes)

Twitter has become one of my favorite social media outlets. I get to chat with other food bloggers, grab ideas from them, give ideas and just interact with other foodies on a daily bases.

I also love the random topics and conversations that can go from chicken and hot dogs to mushrooms stuffed with macaroni and cheese.

Smaller Macaroni and Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms

The other day I was chatting with, Julia from Fat Girl Trapped in a Skinny Body and Lenore from Insatiable/O rlndofoodie and through a series of food comments, started talking adding stuff to pasta. I said I added Peas to my Mac and Cheese. Julia mentioned that she loved to add mixed frozen veggies to noodles and Lenore said she added mushrooms to hers. Well, then Rachel from Baked by Rachel saw our twitter conversation and though we were talking about Macaroni and Cheese stuffed into mushroom. So, that turned into… oooo that sounds so good. We need to make that.

Since today’s “This Weeks Cravings” was Macaroni and Cheese, I knew I had to try these. They did not disappoint.

So thank you Rachel. 🙂 Thank you for miss-reading and putting the idea of Macaroni and Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms in my head. We loved it.

I made large Macaroni and Cheese Stuffed Portobella Mushrooms and Smaller Macaroni and Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms. I loved the larger Portobella ones, while BigBear favored the smaller ones.

What you need:

10 Portobella Mushroom Caps (steams removed)
4 tablespoons butter
8 oz Cream cheese
8 oz 2% Milk Velveeta Cheese
1 box mini shell pasta
4 oz Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
Cooking spray (I used a butter garlic spray)
salt

What to do:

Preheat oven to 350F.

Boil the pasta in lightly salted water for about 12 minutes. Drain.

Return pasta to pot and mix in cream cheese, Velveeta cheese and butter. Stir until melted and mixed well.

Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Spray each mushroom cap lightly with the spray.

Scoop the macaroni and cheese into the mushroom caps.

In a small bowl mix the panko and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle onto the macaroni and cheese.

Bake at 350F for about 12 minutes. Mushrooms should be dark and tender and the panko should be a bit browned.

Remove from oven and place each mushroom onto a cooling rack to drain for just a few seconds.
(place a paper towel under the cooking rack to catch the mushroom juice)
