I threw these together the other day in less than 15 minutes. Yep, 15 minutes.

They set some sort of a pizza record in my house, too.

Since you all know how much I love mushrooms and we love making pizza, these were really bound to happen sooner than later.

Let me tell you how I made them.

Don’t blink because this is going to go fast!

I started with large portabello caps and remove the stems.

Then, I spooned in about a tablespoon of pizza sauce. If you want to make your own, that’s perfectly fine. I just used a premade kind that my son enjoys.

Next I tossed on some pepperoni and then grated Monterey Jack cheese.

Then I threw my skillet in the oven under the broiler for 8 minutes.

And this is what they did.

Oh my gosh are they scrumptious!

You really don’t miss the pizza dough.

Not even a little bit.
