These Easy Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms, filled with a combination of savory sausage, breadcrumbs, and plenty of melted cheese, are the perfect bite-size appetizer for any occasion!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray baking sheet with cooking spray
Slice the ends of the mushroom stems, then remove them from the mushrooms. Just give the stem a little twist or back and forth movement and it should pop right out. Set the mushroom caps aside and chop the stems into smaller pieces.
24 Baby portobello mushrooms
Chop the onion and garlic. If you really want to make it easy (which I always do) just use prepared minced garlic instead.
2/3 cup White onion, 1 tsp Minced garlic
In a skillet, saute the onion and garlic until slightly tender. Add the mushroom stems and saute for another minute.
Combine the onion, garlic and mushrooms in the skillet with the sausage. Brown the sausage and remove from heat (drain if needed).
8 oz Hot sausage
In a bowl, combine the spicy sausage and mushroom mixture, breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.
2 tbsp Italian breadcrumbs, 3/4 cup Shredded white cheddar
Place mushrooms on a baking sheet and stuff them with the sausage mixture.
Bake the filled mushrooms on the middle rack in in the center of the oven for 12-14 minutes.
Remove from oven and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the sausage filling. Bake the mushrooms 2-3 more minutes, until cheese is melted. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
3/4 cup Shredded white cheddar, Chopped parsley for garnish
Notes
Stuff large portobello mushrooms to turn this into an easy weeknight meal.
You may need to adjust the time, based on your oven. Bake until the mushrooms are softened slightly.
