Why It Works

• The ground beef provides a rich, savory flavor to the filling.
• The vegetables add sweetness, crunch, and nutrients to the filling.
• The almond meal helps to bind the filling together and gives it a nice nutty flavor.
• The dried oregano adds a subtle herbiness to the filling.
• The air fryer cooks the mushrooms evenly and quickly, resulting in a tender, juicy filling and a crispy exterior.
