I believe you are referring to portobello shrooms, the big ones are like steaks.

My meatball recipe:

2lbs. ground beef
1 green pepper minced
1 onion minced
2-4 cloves of garlic minced
salt & pepper to taste
1 cup of Italian bread crumbs
1/2 cup of grated Romano cheese
2 tsp. of olive oil


I use a big soup pot to make my spaghetti & meatballs. Add the 2 tsp. of olive oil in the pot and sauté the minced green pepper, onion, garlic till the onion turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Let this cool a few minutes while you add the bread crumbs & Romano cheese to the raw ground beef and knead & mix in a bowl with your hands till well blended. Add the sautéed green pepper, onion, garlic to the ground beef. Put your sauce in the pot and heat. Mix the pepper,onion,garlic into the raw ground beef/bread crumbs/cheese till well blended salt & pepper to taste. Form your meatballs and plop them into the sauce to cook on low. I usually cook my sauce a minimum of 2 hours.
