Chances are, you’re either hosting a holiday gathering of some sort this year or you’re attending one and need to bring a dish. Instead of just toting a couple pies, offer to bring an appetizer!
These cute little paleo stuffed mushrooms are really simple and reallllly delicious.
All that’s involved is some browning of ground beef with onion, garlic, chopped celery, and shredded carrots. Add in as much fresh rosemary as your heart desires (mine usually desires a lot). Hollow out some cute little crimini mushrooms and fill with the ground beef. Bake for a few minutes then voila! You have yourself a homemade, healthy, rustic appetizer.
Enjoy.

Recipe Notes
Note: You don’t ever want to dunk a mushroom in water or run it under the tap, they’re too absorbent.
