My mom used to make baked sausage and cheese stuffed mushroom recipe similar to this on very special occasions.   I thought we were the luckiest kids ever when she was cooking sausage stuffed mushrooms.

Ingredients

  • 1lb large button or cremini mushrooms, stems removed & reserved
  • mushroom stems, diced
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 lb ground Italian sausage
  • 1/4 cup onions, diced
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 2 oz (~ 1/2  cup) Monterey Jack cheese, grated
  • 1 oz ( ~ 1/4 cup) Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped as garnish
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325F.
  • Remove the stem from mushrooms, dice stems only, and set aside.  
  • Lightly oil a small baking dish and add the whole mushrooms in a single tight layer, cavity facing up.
  • Bring a large pan on the stovetop to medium high heat, add a little oil to lightly cover the pan (~ 2 tsp) and add sausage, onions, and mushroom stems.  
  • Break up sausage with back of spoon or fork and cook ~ 7-10 minutes or until cooked through.  
  • Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. 
  • Reduce heat to low and add bread crumbs, both cheeses, salt and pepper.  Stir together and remove from heat when cheese is melted (1-2 minutes).
  • Spoon (or use your hands) a bit of the mixture into each mushroom.  
  • Bake uncovered ~ 40-45 minutes or until stuffing is browned and crusty. 
  • Add salt to taste and sprinkle with parsley.  Happy Eating!  Beckie

Notes

  • Don't have bread crumbs or want to buy them?  Pulverize older bread in a food processor.  We always save our old bread in the freezer for this reason.
  • The filling for the mushrooms can be made the day before, cooled, and then stuffed into the raw mushrooms before baking the entire dish the next day.
  • Other mushrooms that work: cremini or portobello.  Other cheeses that work:  feta, cheddar, gruyere, colby jack.
