Stuffed Mushrooms

I played with this recipe after watching a segment on The Food Network about how to vamp up your Thanksgiving leftovers. There is actually a recipe on the back of most store bought stuffing boxes but I hate following recipes. So, I made my own! This is probably the easiest appetizer. Or even a side dish! A few of my family members don't care for mushrooms but LOVE this dish! It is a hit for sure in my house.

24 Baby Bella Mushrooms
1 Box Stuffing (any flavor)
Ground Sausage (I use the Jimmy Dean Sage)
2 Green Onions
Salt and Pepper
Olive Oil

Preheat oven 350
Brown sausage in frying pan
Pull out the steams so the mushroom is hollow
With a damp cloth, wipe off the mushrooms
In a bowl, toss mushrooms with salt and pepper along with olive oil (you want just enough oil to coat the mushrooms. About 1/4cup but this is totally optional)

Cook the stuffing as it says
When stuffing is cooked, add about another 1/2 cup of water
You want the stuffing pretty soft
Add onions and sausage and fold into stuffing

Stuff mushrooms with stuffing mixture and place in a baking dish
Bake for 20-30 minutes until mushroom is soft and stuffing is a bit crusty on top

Enjoy!!
