Ingredients

• 6 cedar grilling planks
• 10 bacon strips, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 large sweet red pepper, finely chopped
• 6 large portobello mushrooms (4 to 4-1/2 inches)
• 1/2 pound if Mexican chorizo or bulk spicy pork sausage

Substitute with our Mexican chorizo, cilantro sausage, or our jalapeño and cheese sausage.

Directions

• Soak planks in water for at least 1 hour. 
• In a large skillet, cook chorizo and bacon over medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until chorizo is fully cooked and bacon is crisp. 
• Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 1 tablespoon in the pan.
• Add pepper and onion to drippings; cook and stir over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes or until tender. 
• Add garlic, pepper flakes, and cayenne; cook 30 seconds longer. 
• In a large bowl, combine meat mixture, vegetable mixture, and cheese; set aside.
• Remove and discard stems from mushrooms; with a spoon, scrape and remove gills. Fill caps with meat mixture.
• Place planks on the grill rack over direct medium heat. 
• Cover and heat for 3-4 minutes or until light to medium smoke comes from the plank and the wood begins to crackle. (This indicates the plank is ready.) 
• Turn planks over; place mushroom caps on planks. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until mushrooms are tender.
