Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a square baking dish with cooking spray.
- Remove the stems from the mushrooms and chop them finely. Set aside the stems.
- Place the mushroom caps in a bowl and toss them with 1 Tsp. olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Set aside the caps.
- Heat the remaining Tsp. olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, green pepper, and mushroom stems and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the sausage and cook for another 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sausage is completely browned.
- Add the bread crumbs, stirring to combine evenly with all the other ingredients. Stir in the mozzarella cheese and melt.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese.
- Fill each mushroom generously with the sausage mixture (about 1 heaping Tbsp. per mushroom cap). Arrange the mushrooms in the baking dish and bake 40 minutes or until the stuffing is crispy on the top.
