Prep Time: 20 - 30 minutes
Cook Time: 15 - 20 minutes

Ingredients:

1/2 lb	Ground Beef
36 to 40	Small Button or Cremini Mushrooms (1-1/2 to 2-inch diameter)
1/4 tsp	Salt
1/3 cup	Crumbled Blue Cheese
1/4 cup	Soft Whole Wheat Bread Crumbs
3 tbsp	Minced Chives
1/2 tsp	Steak Seasoning Blend
Minced fresh chives (optional)

Directions:

Preheat grill to 375°F.
Remove and reserve stems from mushrooms. Season mushroom caps with salt; set aside.
Mince stems to yield 1/2 cup; discard remaining stems.
Combine ground beef, minced stems, blue cheese, bread crumbs, 3 tbsp chives and steak seasoning.
Spoon beef mixture evenly into mushrooms.
Cook's Tip: To make soft bread crumbs, place torn bread in food processor or blender container. Cover; pulse on and off, to form fine crumbs. One-half slice makes about 1/4 cup crumbs.
Place stuffed mushrooms on rack in broiler pan.
Bake in 375°F grill 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with additional chives, if desired.
Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
