SAUSAGE & CREAM CHEESE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Remove the stems and "core" from your mushrooms and place top side down on a cookie sheet - if they want to roll, just cut a bit off of the top to make it flat so that they won't roll.
• Fry the sausage, until it is cooked through.
• Chop the green onions, using the green part too.
• Mix the cream cheese, cooked sausage, chopped green onions and the soy sauce.
• Place this mixture where your mushroom stems once were and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20-30 minutes.

STUFFED MUSHROOMS WITH CREAM CHEESE & SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
• Separate caps and stems while cleaning the mushrooms.
• If cleaning with water, let them drain for a bit.
• Start cooking the sausage in frying pan, at a medium to medium/high temperature.
• While the sausage is cooking, put the cream cheese into a mixing bowl so it can soften and mince the stem pieces.
• Spice the sausage to taste. Garlic is a good addition.
• Just before the sausage is done, add the stem pieces and finish cooking.
• Drain off the excess grease and add the sausage/stem mixture into the cream cheese.
• Mix together well using a wooden spoon or your hands. Be careful, as it will be rather hot.
• Set the caps into a 13x9 pan (or larger) with sides.
• Optional! Melt enough butter to just put a little in the bottom of each cap or just brush some over the top of each after they're filled. You can put any extra butter in the bottom of the pan.
• Fill the caps with the cream cheese/sausage/stem mix.
• Add a small amount of water to the bottom of the pan, just enough to cover the bottom.
• Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the tops are crusty and the mushrooms have turned dark.
• Scoop them out of the pan with a slotted spoon and arrange them on a plate.
• Serve warm. They reheat well, so you can make them ahead of time.
• *VARIATION 1: Add dried bread crumbs to the mix to make a larger batch without adding more cream cheese or sausage. Onions are also another popular addition.
• *VARIATION 2: Use one 8oz. box of cream cheese to two 8oz. pkgs of sausage. It makes for a larger batch that is less rich and tastes just as good.
• *FUN HINTS: The cream cheese mix is also very good on bread or crackers! This comes in handy if you you think there might be someone who doesn't like mushrooms - save some of the mix to the side for them to dip with.

• Measure out and mix together (in a zippy) marinade ingredients oil and vinegar.
• Measure out and mix together topping ingredients(place in a zippy). Parmesan, & parsley.
• Bag together the parts if preparing in advance. In another zippy bag place meat mixture on bottom, then topping mix, then bag of stemmed mushrooms (securely sealed), and the marinade mix (also very important to be securely sealed). All the prep and assembly work is done.
• To Serve: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Rinse mushrooms off in zippy bag.
• Gently pat mushrooms dry with a paper cloth.
• Pour the oil and vinegar marinade into the zippy with the mushrooms. Marinade for at lest 20 min, but no more then 2 hours. If you marinade the mushrooms for too long they will turn slimy.
• Place mushrooms in a baking dish with sides (they give off allot of liquid) hole up. Stuff each mushroom hole with a mound of sausage and cream cheese mixture on top.
• Sprinkle on topping (parmesan, parsley). Sprinkle some optional paprika over the tops if you like.

SAUSAGE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Grease a sheet tray or line with parchment paper.
• Clean the mushroom caps with a damp paper towel. Carefully break off the stems and using the tip of a spoon hollow out the center of the mushrooms.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the sausage, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon. Transfer the cooked sausage to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
• Add the white chopped scallions to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the scallions to the sausage and cool.
• When the sausage and scallion mixture is no longer hot, stir in the Parmesan, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and softened cream cheese. The mixture should be very thick. Using a small spoon, fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of the stuffing. Top with additional Parmesan if desired. Arrange the mushroom caps evenly on the prepared sheet tray.
• Place in the oven and bake until the mushrooms are piping hot and liquid starts to form under the caps about 20 minutes. Garnish with the reserved green scallions.
