Sometimes I come across an item that I really want to try, so I build a recipe around it. That is how I came up with this AMAZING recipe! I saw a can of Giant Baked Cannellini beans and thought, “I bet I can make an amazing vegetarian dish out of this.” I really think you will enjoy this one! It’s loaded with fiber, which is great for my fellow Weight Watchers as it allows you to bring the carb count down by subtracting the fiber from the carbs. Nutritionally, it has everything you’re looking for to make it a healthy meal of choice.

Directions
Step 1: Clean your mushrooms by removing the stem with a knife and carefully removing the black gills by and scooping them out with a spoon. Clean the back of the mushroom with a wet paper towel and then score it (i.e. make a little ‘X’ in it with a knife).
Step 2: Set your range heat to Med and spray your pan with a little butter spray.
Step 3: Place your mushrooms score side down in the pan and cover.
Step 4: Pour the diced onions in the same pan along with the can of Cannellini Beans and allow to simmer while mushrooms soften.
Step 5: Check mushrooms and flip over until they are soft. It takes about 5 minutes total for them to get soft.
Step 6: Flip the mushrooms back over and stuff them directly in the pan. Then sprinkle with half of the cheese.
Step 7: Enjoy!
