Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 24 pieces Whole mushrooms (medium, white button or cremini) Don't rinse under running water to avoid water absorption.
  • 8 ounces Ground sausage Use mild or hot depending on preference.
  • 4 ounces Cream cheese Softened for easier mixing.
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced) Or use a good pinch of garlic powder.
  • 1 handful Green onions or chives Chopped.
  • 0.5 teaspoons Salt Sausage is already salty, adjust as necessary.
  • 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Toppings (Optional)
  • 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese For topping.
  • 1 pinch Crushed red pepper Optional for extra heat.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or 400°F (200°C) depending on preference.
  2. Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and chop them finely.
  3. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, adding the chopped mushroom stems towards the end.
  4. In a bowl, mix the cooked sausage and mushroom stems with cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped green onions or chives, salt, and pepper.
  5. Stuff the mushroom caps with the mixture, being careful not to overfill.
Baking
  1. Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and optionally top with Parmesan cheese.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and slightly golden on top.

Notes

You can prepare these ahead of time and refrigerate before baking. If using large mushrooms, extend the bake time as needed.
