SAUSAGE STUFFED MUSHROOMS



Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms image

A different take on stuffed mushrooms. I prepared these for a snack on Thanksgiving - while waiting for the bird and all the fixins to get done. They were a great success and were eaten with gusto, the cream cheese made for a smooth taste. Could substitute sweet Italian sausage for the regular pork sausage, whatever your tastes prefer.

STUFFED MUSHROOMS WITH CREAM CHEESE & SAUSAGE



Stuffed Mushrooms With Cream Cheese & Sausage image

I first had these back in high school - too many years ago to think about now. I've been making them ever since. Now, whenever any of my friends have a get-together, I'm expected to bring them! You've been warned!! They're addictive.

Provided by Lissa Sprenne

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 (12 ounce) packages white button mushrooms, cap size doesn't really matter
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (8 ounce) package sausage
1/4 cup butter (melted, quite optional!)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
  • Separate caps and stems while cleaning the mushrooms.
  • If cleaning with water, let them drain for a bit.
  • Start cooking the sausage in frying pan, at a medium to medium/high temperature.
  • While the sausage is cooking, put the cream cheese into a mixing bowl so it can soften and mince the stem pieces.
  • Spice the sausage to taste. Garlic is a good addition.
  • Just before the sausage is done, add the stem pieces and finish cooking.
  • Drain off the excess grease and add the sausage/stem mixture into the cream cheese.
  • Mix together well using a wooden spoon or your hands. Be careful, as it will be rather hot.
  • Set the caps into a 13x9 pan (or larger) with sides.
  • Optional! Melt enough butter to just put a little in the bottom of each cap or just brush some over the top of each after they're filled. You can put any extra butter in the bottom of the pan.
  • Fill the caps with the cream cheese/sausage/stem mix.
  • Add a small amount of water to the bottom of the pan, just enough to cover the bottom.
  • Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the tops are crusty and the mushrooms have turned dark.
  • Scoop them out of the pan with a slotted spoon and arrange them on a plate.
  • Serve warm. They reheat well, so you can make them ahead of time.
  • *VARIATION 1: Add dried bread crumbs to the mix to make a larger batch without adding more cream cheese or sausage. Onions are also another popular addition.
  • *VARIATION 2: Use one 8oz. box of cream cheese to two 8oz. pkgs of sausage. It makes for a larger batch that is less rich and tastes just as good.
  • *FUN HINTS: The cream cheese mix is also very good on bread or crackers! This comes in handy if you you think there might be someone who doesn't like mushrooms - save some of the mix to the side for them to dip with.

Tips:

  • Choose large, firm mushrooms for stuffing. Smaller mushrooms can be used, but they will be more difficult to stuff.
  • Remove the stems from the mushrooms and finely chop them. The stems can be used to make the sausage stuffing.
  • Use a variety of sausage in the stuffing. This will give the mushrooms more flavor.
  • Add some bread crumbs to the stuffing to help bind it together.
  • Season the stuffing with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Stuff the mushrooms with the sausage mixture and bake them in a preheated oven until the mushrooms are tender and the stuffing is cooked through.
  • Serve the mushrooms hot with a side of your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Sausage stuffed mushrooms are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be served as a side dish. With a variety of sausage and stuffing options, there is a recipe for everyone. So next time you are looking for a tasty and satisfying dish, give sausage stuffed mushrooms a try.
