These Italian Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms are a quick and easy hot appetizer. Sure to disappear fast!
These Italian Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms are always a huge hit! This recipe is pretty simple and best of all delicious! Each cap is stuffed with Italian sausage, cream cheese, breadcrumbs, onions and garlic and of course Parmesan cheese. Perfect little bites!
The filling options for mushrooms are endless. This combination is definitely my favorite so far. You can use white or Cremini mushrooms but they will darken as they bake as well as shrink.
Try these babies the next time you have friends over! This is a perfect make ahead appetizer, then just pop them in the oven.
