Ingredients

2 Tbsp. butter or oil, divided
8 oz. sausage mild Italian
¼ cup onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic finely minced
¼ cup mayonnaise
4 oz. cream cheese softened
¼ cup + 2 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese grated, divided
2 Tbsp. parsley finely chopped
¼ tsp. paprika
¼ tsp. red pepper flakes optional
½ tsp. salt to taste
¼ tsp. black pepper to taste
16 oz. mushrooms small-medium, about 15-20*
2 Tbsp. Panko breadcrumbs gluten free, if needed

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 °F
Sauté Vegetables: Add butter or oil to a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Once heated, add the onion and saute for 2-3 minutes. Mix in the minced garlic and continue cooking for an additional minute, or until fragrant.
2 Tbsp. butter, ¼ cup onion, 2 cloves garlic
Cook Sausage: Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the sausage. Cook for 7-8 minutes, or until no longer pink. Crumble the cooked meat using a potato masher to break it apart into small pieces.
8 oz. sausage
Make Filling: Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the cream cheese, mayonnaise, ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Set aside until ready to use.
¼ cup mayonnaise, 4 oz. cream cheese, ¼ cup + 2 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese, ¼ tsp. paprika, ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes, ½ tsp. salt, ¼ tsp. black pepper
Prepare Mushrooms: Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt and debris. Remove the stems from the mushrooms by pulling them to one side and then snapping them off. You can also use a knife to cut them off if the stems do not snap easily. Place mushrooms on a large baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper.
16 oz. mushrooms
Fill Mushrooms: Fill each mushroom cap with 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons of the sausage filling mixture. Pay careful attention not to fill them up with more filling than they are tall to prevent overflow while baking.
Top with Breadcrumbs: Whisk together the remaining tablespoon of butter and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese with the Panko breadcrumbs. Sprinkle about a teaspoon over each filled mushroom.
2 Tbsp. Panko breadcrumbs
Cook in Oven: Bake mushrooms in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops become crispy and golden brown.
Serve stuffed mushrooms immediately with additional chopped parsley and enjoy!

Meal Prep & Storage

To Prep-Ahead: This recipe is perfect to make ahead. Either mix up the filling and store it separate from the mushrooms, or go ahead and stuff them up to 24 hours early, but wait to bake until you're ready to enjoy.
To Store: Place leftovers in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 2 to 3 days.
To Freeze: Freeze unbaked stuffed mushrooms in a single layer on a baking sheet for a few hours. Transfer them to a freezer-safe container and keep for up to 3 to 6 months.
To Reheat: Warm these back up in the oven for the best texture.
