Grilled Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

This recipe works for a Meatless Monday, but it’s also great as a side with a grilled steak. (I served it as a side to a buffalo flank steak.) Full of veggies, it does require some prep work. However, you can fix it up the night before, then just throw on the grill the next day.
