16 ounces large button mushrooms, stemmed
1 (6.5-ounce) can minced clams, undrained
6 tablespoons bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup green bell pepper, diced small
1/2 small onion, diced small
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 to 4 tablespoons melted butter, as needed
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Steps:

1 Preheat oven to 350ºF. Clean stemmed mushrooms and place open side down in a 9X13 glass baking dish. Bake 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and soak up any liquid with paper towel. 2 While mushrooms are baking, drain clams, reserving packing water. Combine clams, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, bell pepper, onion, garlic, parsley, oregano, pepper, and salt in a bowl. Mix to combine. Add desired butter and 2 tablespoons reserved clam juice. Stir until moistened. Add more butter or clam juice if needed. 3 Stuff mushrooms with clam mixture. Top each with a little mozzarella. Bake 30 minutes in middle of oven, until cheese is browned.
