Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
My husband and I love watching football games together. We usually make a spread of wings and other appetizers and munch through out the game. One of my new favorites is one I came up with from ingredients I had on hand in the house. These will definitely be on the menu when we watch the big game!
Then I washed the button mushrooms and pulled out the middles. I laid the mushrooms out on parchment paper.
I diced up the stems from the mushroom and set them aside. I then cooked my sausage. We had pork breakfast links on sale at the local market so I just used a box of them and made sure to crumble it up real well. I moved the sausage to another plate to cool, but kept that sausage grease in the pan.
I diced up onions and minced up garlic cloves and sautéed them with the grease in the pan. This gives them a great flavor. Once they started becoming fragrant I added the mushrooms and continued sautéing.
While that is cooking I mixed up my softened cream cheese, an egg yolk, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. I added the onions, garlic, and mushrooms to the mixture and then the sausage. I mixed it well until combined.
I then stuffed the mixture into all of my mushrooms and cooked them.
The result was delicious!

This recipe looks very tasty. Thanks for sharing!
I love stuffed mushrooms. No garlic for me. I haven’t tried this recipe yet, but it sounds good. I’d use a Portabella cap because they’re much larger and would be easier to work with.
OMG! These are to die for.
I love mushrooms! I can’t wait to try this recipe!
Most of the time I just snack on pretzels or popcorn. But this?! I have no words. It looks so good. I love mushrooms and sausage separately. Together they must be a great combo. Thanks for the recipe! 🙂
I love making deep fried mushrooms and this recipe is so much easier to do in the oven.I will love this delicious little appetizer!! Thank you 🙂
Yum! For any game night I’ve got to have a hot cheese dip of some sort!
