¼ pound ground lamb
¼ yellow onion, chopped small
4 green onions, minced
¼ red bell pepper, minced
¼ cup chopped parsley
1 clove garlic, minced
8 stems (about 1/3 bunch) fresh thyme, leaves removed from stem and minced
1 tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp (or more) red chili flakes

¼ cup dried bread crumbs
1 egg
¼ cup shredded Manchego (can substitute all or some with Parmesan or Romano)
Extra Manchego for tops
Preparation:
*Preheat oven to 375˚
*Remove stems from mushrooms and finely chop. Place mushrooms, cavity side up, in un-greased casserole dish or on parchment lined sheet pan.
*In one large bowl, combine remaining ingredients, stirring well to combine.
