My mom used to make these for her holiday party every year. She’d take them out of the oven and hand pass them around in her cute, retro serving dish. They were gobbled up in minutes! I recently brought them to a friend’s party (in that same dish), and they were a big hit there too. A reader once commented that they made these easy stuffed mushrooms to go along with their steak dinner. I think that’s a fabulous idea!
Ingredients needed:
mushrooms ground sausage
How to make Easy Stuffed Mushrooms:
Clean the mushrooms. Pat them dry. Pull off the stems and cut off the rough edge. Chop the rest of the stems finely. Gently take out the inside of the mushrooms with a small spoon and add that to the stems. Combine the mushroom mixture with sausage.
Spoon the sausage mixture into the mushroom caps. It’s okay to mound the sausage a bit because it will shrink down when baked. Place the sausage stuffed mushrooms in a baking dish. Sprinkle a little water in the bottom. Bake for 45 minutes. Serve immediately! Enjoy!
Make ahead tip:
Prepare these ahead of time so that they are ready to pop in the oven. Stuff the mushrooms and then place them in the refrigerator (covered) until ready to bake. You’ll then have steaming hot appetizers to pass on a tray and they’ll be devoured quickly!
Suggested variation:
For a different spin on this recipe, brown the sausage, drain and cool. Mix with one package 8-ounces of cream cheese. Fill the mushrooms with the mixture and cook for the same amount of time at the same temp.
