Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms/Red Peppers or Loaf

Stuffing for mushrooms or red peppers (or would be good as a loaf)

Eggs (2)
Minced Onions
Polenta (1/2 tube from Trader Joes)
Shredded cheese (I used Trader Joes Swiss/Gruyere Blend, but any cheese would be good)
Ricotta Cheese (just under 1/2 tub from Trader Joes)
*Italian Sausge
Breadcrumbs to make it a thick consisitancy to hold shape)
Mix, then Top with Shredded Parmesian Romano (or any cheese you like)
Bake at 350 for 1 hour

*Vegetarian Version:
Replace sausage with plant based sausage or plant based chirizo)

I like Pumfu Sausage Crumble or Abbots from HungryRoot or Soy Chirizo from Trader Joes
Next time for more protein and to use less cheese, I will include some nutritional yeast
ALSO, you could add lentils or crushed gabonzo beans for more protein
