These sausage stuffed mushrooms are the best mushrooms you'll ever have! Great as a holiday side or appetizer or for anytime.
Ingredients
  • 2 lbs. baby portobello mushrooms*
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • 1 lb. ground sausage (I recommend using traditional pork sausage or mild Italian sausage)
  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. ground dried thyme
  • ½ tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Wash and brush the dirt off the mushrooms and remove the stems. Set the mushroom caps in the prepared baking dish and finely chop the stems.
  2. Melt the butter in a skillet and add the mushroom stems and shallots. Cook for a few minutes until the mushrooms release their liquid and everything has reduced.
  3. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking into pieces as it cooks. Add the salt, pepper, and thyme and stir to combine.
  4. Add the cream cheese and stir to combine. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
  5. Scoop the filling into the mushroom caps and top with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted.
  6. Top with finely chopped parsley as a garnish and enjoy!
Notes
*Be sure to pick out larger sized mushrooms to fit all the filling!
