MUSHROOMS STUFFED WITH MUSHROOMS
AND SAUSAGE
 
12 lg. mushrooms (approximately 3/4 lb.)
2 tbsp. fresh bread crumbs
2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp. butter
1/2 c. Mushroom Stuffing
1/4 lb. sweet Italian sausage
1 tbsp. chopped parsley

Remove mushroom stems and use them to prepare the Mushroom Stuffing. When stuffing has cooled slightly, add sausage meat and parsley. Mix well. Stuff caps with mushroom-sausage mixture. Mix crumbs and cheese and sprinkle over stuffed mushrooms. Dot each with butter.

Grease a shallow baking dish and arrange caps in it, stuffed side up. Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes, basting occasionally with the juices that accumulate in the pan. Serve hot or cold. Serves 4.

MUSHROOM STUFFING:

Mushroom stems from recipe above
1 1/2 tsp. butter
2 tbsp. finely chopped onion
Juice of half a lemon
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tsp. oil

Chop mushroom stems finely. Place in a clean cloth and squeeze to extract most of the juice. Heat butter and oil in a skillet. Add onions and cook until wilted. Add mushroom stems and mix well. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring constantly, until all of the moisture has evaporated.

Mushrooms Stuffed with Mushrooms and Sausage

 Chrishna (New Jersey) says:
Delish. Made it with baby bellas & turkey sausage, and instead of topping with cheese and breadcrumbs, I mixed them right in. Worked great. Much easier to handle raw sausage than pre-browned (which most other recipes seem to call for); plus it binds the stuffing and mushroom together nicely for an easy-to-handle bite. One criticism is no quantity on chopped stems given. Could vary quite a bit depending on how long stems cut.

Love this recipe! Only one I've found where you don't have to first cook the sausage. Granted the sausage juices run into the mushroom but what's the downside of that? Yummy! I don't change a thing except substitute Italian parsley for the regular parsley.
