Make these savory and cheesy sausage stuffed mushrooms for an impressive appetizer perfect for parties or game days. This recipe uses Italian sausage and cream cheese for a rich, crowd-pleasing filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large white mushrooms (Cremini or white button)
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage (mild or hot)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Clean the mushrooms. Gently remove the stems and finely chop the stems. Set the mushroom caps aside.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is fully browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Transfer the cooked sausage to a mixing bowl. Add the softened cream cheese, chopped mushroom stems, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined into a uniform filling.
  5. Spoon the sausage filling evenly into the hollowed mushroom caps, mounding the mixture slightly on top.
  6. Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown on top.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can prepare the filling a day ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator. Stuff the mushrooms just before baking.
  • If you want a crispier top, sprinkle a small amount of extra Parmesan cheese over the filling before the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • Use whole white button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms for the best size and shape for stuffing.
