5 Hearty and Healthy Mushroom Recipes to Make for Dinner

Mushrooms have a hearty, meaty texture that makes them perfect for creating a filling, wholesome meal — and a good substitute for your favorite meaty dishes.

Here are five savory, healthy mushroom recipes to make for easy weeknight dinners when you’re pinched for time and need something satiating and satisfying.
