Prep the portobello mushrooms by removing the stem. Carefully remove the gills under the cap by gently scraping them off with a spoon. If the mushrooms seem dirty, gently wipe the cap with a damp paper towel. Place the mushrooms on a wire rack on a baking sheet.
Make the meat sauce. In a 5-quart heavy pot, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage until no longer pink, and drain off the grease. Add marinara sauce, tomato sauce, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, and pepper. Slow simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Taste the sauce and add salt if desired. Note that the cheeses contain salt so you should always taste test first.
Preheat oven to 350F. Make the ricotta cheese mixture. Combine the ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Add 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and blend well.
For layer 1, fill the cavity of the mushroom with the beef sauce.
Layer 2, spread a thick layer of the ricotta cheese mixture on top of the beef sauce.
Layer 3, top with remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake the mushrooms on a wire rack on a baking sheet at 350F for 20 minutes. If desired, broil for a few minutes to brown the cheese topping.
