Marmie's Meat and Asiago Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms

My local grocery store makes these in the meat department and charge way too much for them!! I have not tasted theirs but I knew I could make similar, more cost efficiently. I searched online for a meat stuffed portabella and could not find one. Thus, time to get somewhat creative.... We really like how the asiago cheese and italian seasonings compliment this unique little meatloaf. Here is hoping you like it as well. Note the photo does not do the dish justice....
