This recipe requires little effort with simple ingredients. Stuffed Mushrooms are what they say they are, a meat stuffed mushroom. These can be made as an appetizer, entrée, or a party snack.

Ingredients
Large White Mushrooms
Roll Sausage or Sausage Links
Parmesan Cheese
Salt
Pepper

Steps
If you only have access to sausage links, you’ll have to remove the sausage meat from the casings. Using a roll of sausage is easier because you don’t have to deal with removing any casings. It makes for less mess a well. To remove the casings from link sausages, just make a slit into the link and squeeze the meat out. You can then set the meat aside in a bowl. If you’re working with a roll of sausage, take some sausage out of the roll and set it aside in a bowl.

Take the sausage you have and season it with a little bit of salt and pepper. Sausages come in all types of special flavors, so you can use those here. My favorites to use are the Spicy Italian Sausages. Feel free to experiment with different flavors. To get a good idea of how much sausage to use, each mushroom requires a small meatball sized portion to stuff the mushroom.

Before you begin stuffing, you will want to remove the stems from the mushrooms. Start rolling up the sausage meat into small meatballs and prepare to stuff the mushrooms. Place the meat into the pit of the unstemed mushroom. Set the stuffed mushrooms into a baking safe dish. You can top each mushroom with some parmesan cheese. Just sprinkle as much as you want on each. After you are done preparing the mushrooms, it’s time to bake them.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and once it’s ready, place the baking dish inside the oven. Cook the stuffed mushrooms for 20-25 minutes or until the sausage is cooked thoroughly. After they’re done, take them out of the oven. They’re best served hot.
