Breadless Portabella Mushroom Pizzas - Stove Top

Submitted by LuvMeImCute

"These rich decadent individual sized pizzas are to die for, but your waistline wont pay for the pleasure, and they couldn't be easier. Make them right on the stovetop in one skillet. Great appetizer if you use small portabellas. Also wonderful for people not fond of the musty flavor of mushrooms because these have a light meat like flavor and texture. I created this recipe as a starch free option for pizza, aka no-carb. I always loved mushroom pizza's but crust is a pain in the rear. If its not just right it ruins everything, not to mention its tough on the diet. Good vegetarian recipe with lots of nutrition."

Our family really varied on their like of this recipe. I made it with bacon to be more appealing to my children, otherwise everything else was the same. The star rating we gave was an average of all of our tastes.
