1 tsp ground garlic paste
¼ cup finely chopped parsley

48 small nuggets of cheese of your choice


Instructions

Heat your oven to 350 degrees.

Remove the mushroom stalks and shave the bottoms so they are stand.

Chop all the removed bits of mushroom really fine and add to the beef.

For ease of preparation, take 3 – 4 golf size balls of the mixture and blend it in your food processor.

Add this to the rest of the meat.

Using a small melon baller with a release lever as a guide fill the meat mixture to the level.

Cook for 15 – 20 mins.

Remove from the oven and top with a nugget of cheese of your choice.

Return to the oven for another minute or so.
