Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms

Stuffed Mushrooms make such a fantastic party appetizer. These Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms are a mixture of sausage, onion, garlic, stuffing mix, and Monterey Jack cheese. A little mayonnaise holds the filling together and makes it creamy.

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.

Substitutions For Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms

The Monterey Jack cheese could also be switched out for cheddar cheese or Parmesan or even mozzarella.

How To Clean Mushrooms

Since mushrooms have such a high water content, it’s best not to clean them in water. Instead wipe any dirt off with a damp paper towel.

Instructions
