Ingredients:
36 large mushroom caps
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup cream cheese ( at room temperature)
1/2-1 cup ground Italian sausage ( mild, medium or hot, if you can’t find ground italian sausage, you can buy italian sausage in links)
Directions:
Cook your ground meat until completely done.
Saute mushrooms in butter over high heat, about 3 minutes.
Beat cream cheese until smooth.
Stir in your cooked ground meat- use at least 1/2 cup of the ground meat, if you want more, add some more (I usually like more meat in mine).
Stuff each cap with a little of the meat& cheese mixture; arrange on a baking sheet.
Place under a heated broiler until bubbling.
Variations: Substitute the sausage meat with 1/4 cup chopped crab meat and 1/4 chopped cooked baby shrimp seasoned with a cajun spice or similar for a SEAFOOD STUFFED MUSHROOM (I liked the sausage meat better, but that’s b/c I didn’t season the seafood so it was bland)-OR- Use the cheese and meat mixture as a dip for crackers.
Very good this way too.
