Make Ahead

The filling can be prepared ahead of time (even the day before). And the mushrooms can be stuffed ahead of time and refrigerated. Just add a few minutes to the baking time to compensate.

I love, love, love mushrooms and I think my favorite way to eat them is stuffed. They can be stuffed with pretty much anything and the options are endless.

Type Of Sausage

Use either hot, mild, or sweet Italian sausage depending on the amount of heat and the flavor you want. You could even use chorizo. That would be delicious.

Ingredients

  • 18 large mushrooms, (wiped clean with a damp paper towel)
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 ounces mild or hot Italian sausage
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped sweet onion
  • 1 clove garlic, (minced)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

    Place mushroom caps hollow side up on prepared baking sheet.

    Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
