STUFFED MUSHROOMS
INGREDIENTS IN STUFFED MUSHROOMS
- WHITE MUSHROOMS – I like to use regular white button mushrooms. You could also use cremini mushrooms, portobello, or baby bella mushrooms. Larger mushrooms aren’t necessarily better than smaller mushrooms. You want a mushroom that’s the perfect bite size.
- SAUSAGE
- ONION
- GARLIC
- CREAM CHEESE – you could use fat free cream cheese. This holds the stuffing together.
- EGG YOLK
- PARMESAN CHEESE
- CHICKEN BROTH
HOW TO MAKE STUFFED MUSHROOMS
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Clean mushrooms. Wipe off whole mushrooms with a damp paper towel or rag. Pop out mushrooms stems, reserving both parts including the mushroom stalks and mushroom cap.
- Chop stems finely and set aside.
- In a medium skillet, brown and crumble the Italian sausage. Set aside on a plate to cool.
- Add onions and garlic to the same skillet; cook for 2 minutes over medium heat. Pour in wine or broth to deglaze pan, allow liquid to evaporate. Add in chopped mushroom stems, stir to cook for 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set mixture aside on a plate to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and egg yolk. Stir together with Parmesan cheese. Add cooled sausage and cooled mushroom stems. Stir cream cheese mixture together and refrigerate for a short time to firm up.
- Smear stuffed mushroom filling into the cavity of each mushroom, creating a sizable mound over the top. Place mushrooms on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool at least ten minutes before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

I have made these MULTIPLE times and are always a crowd fav in my family. I am currently making them in my kitchen for Thanksgiving today 😊. I’m vegetarian so I do omit the sausage and absolutely love the flavor regardless. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
You’re welcome!
Delicious! I added small pieces of butter to my baking dish. I loved this appetizer.
Thank you!
can I use ricotta instead of cream cheese
It will give it a different flavor but it’s worth a try!
Hi,
In your directions you say Italian sausage and in your ingredient list you say hot pork sausage. Which do you actually use? Thanks so much! Love your recipes
Shoot you can use either. Sorry about that.
Best stuffed mushrooms ever. Simple to make, a little time consuming, but well worth it.
So good! Thank you!
What is the recommendation for air fryer?
I would bake at the same temp for the same amount of time.
Wow! I love stuffed mushrooms and this might be my favorite recipe yet! These have so much flavor and are delicious. Thank you for an amazing recipe!
Thanks! I love them!
These are amazing been making them for years!
Thank you!
Do I freeze these before or after I bake them?
You can do it either way. I personally would freeze before baking.
What is a good way to freeze? Prep and put in a baking sheet in the freezer, then when froze put in a Ziploc or tub? How does cooking instructions change when cooking from frozen?
Yes, exactly. That’s how I would do it. Prep and freeze on a baking sheet then transfer to a ziploc once solid. You might need to add 5-10 minutes to the cooking time.
I’ve been making this recipe for the past two thanksgivings and now for nye and it’s such a hit every. single. time!!! And I don’t like mushrooms! But I love this recipe!
This looks delicious! I would like to make them for a baby shower I’m hosting soon because the couple loves stuffed mushrooms. Do you think I could make the mixture and prep the mushrooms the day before and then put them together and bake the day of ? Thanks for your help!
Emily,
Yes, these are perfect for making ahead of time. I always prep the day before.
If I were going to serve these buffet style, do you think a chafing dish would dry them out? Or would you just serve them cold?! Trying to figure out the best way to serve these for a large crowd!
Definitely better hot. I think a chafing dish would work and would not dry them out.
I’ve been making these for years! They’re the showstopper at every event. Even people that hate mushrooms have loved these and begged for the recipe! Seriously the best!
How many links is a third of a pound of sausage, recipie looks great
It’s actually bulk sausage like Jimmy Dean (in the tube).
Is it possible to make the filling ahead of time and keeping it for a day or two before stuffing the mushrooms
YES!! Absolutely okay. I do it all the time.
Hey! Everyone loved the mushrooms . They taste heavenly but apparently cheese was all over the palce when i pulled them out of the oven . i wonder why
You want to kind of stand them so they hold each other up. That helps.
Cannot p rint recipe
Do you see the print button? What does it do?
Mushrooms should be wiped off, not washed. They are high in water content. Read on Food Network/ The Kitchen. recipe sounds awesome, will try. Love you Ree
I love these mushrooms, so good! Quick question- is it normal to have a lot of water from the mushrooms on the baking sheet after baking them?
Yes. All mushrooms give off their juice. You could cook them less and they won’t water so much or cook them on a wire rack inside of a cookie sheet.
Thank you!
do you think that crab meat would still taste great in these instead of sausage?
Yes! I do.
Can you use portabella mushrooms instead of white? Or will it throw off the recipe? Anyone tried it?
They’re definitely bigger but I think they would work. Haven’t tried it though.
Does anyone know what kind of wine to use the only wine I’ve ever tried was Moscato lol
Danielle,
Whatever wine you have. There isn’t a lot in it so it won’t make a huge flavor difference.
Wow! These look sooooooooo delish!
I made these at Christmas and they were a hit! However, after doubling the recipe and using small mushrooms, I ended up with a lot of leftover stuffing. I froze it at first (trying to come up with a plan), then added it to grits a few weeks later. Amazing! This Southerner highly recommends mixing the leftover mushroom stuffing with grits. 🙂
Just wondering about the calorie count. Does any one have any ideas?
You cannot go wrong with PW! I love her – great choice! I make a lot of her recipes, and I’ll definitely make these yummy mushrooms. Thanks for sharing! Loved it…PS try her pulled pork and homemade coleslaw. Oh boy…
I am required to make these for every family holiday get together, and in between too.
My recipe only calls for mushrooms, 1 lb of sausage and 8 oz of cream cheese. I think adding garlic and maybe the Parmesan cheese would be a great addition, but I don’t think I’d change anything else.
I don’t know that my recipe is any better, but it is definitely easier 🙂
I make some just like these but I add a little dried thyme to mine…but I can’t wait to give this a try..
How much is ? pounds and ? cups? Lol
Oh my gosh!! A plugin bug. Sorry. It’s all fixed.
Tried this recipe…and absolutely loved the stuffed mushrooms! Would highly recommend. I followed the recipe exactly. I’m going to make them again as a Super Bowl finger food.
Only comment I have is that I ended up with more stuffing than mushrooms to fill. I will probably get a few more mushrooms next time, but not add any additional mushroom stems to the filling to keep proportions the same.
Thanks for the recipe!!!
These look amazing! What would be a good substitute for the wine? Thanks!
You can use chicken broth instead of wine…
BhWibn Thanks a lot for the blog post. Awesome.
It’s delicious! Thanks for sharing!
I just made these for my husband while he was doing work around the house- a quick/nice little surprise. He went NUTS for them! Thank you for posting, they were a hit!
My husband has been commenting at our Chinese restaurant he loved theirs so I was glad for you recipe. So II might surprise him now I have a recipe.
@Bobbi,
Go for it! Thanks for asking!
Christy
Just want to get your permission to post on Pinterst. Thanks.
I made these but I don’t do sausage – I sprinkle grated cheddar on top when they were done. Delicious!

Ahh, stuffed mushrooms take me back. The first time I made these was in Home Ec in Jr High, my mom MADE me take the class. We made these in class once so for a party my parents were having I made them. Impressed my mom, Woo Hoo!! Of course the Home Ec recipe wasn’t nearly as tasty as these little guys sound. I’m definietly making these at my Pumpkin Carving party.
Wow is amazing I love this product and is delicious and perfect for kids too, thanks for the recomendation
Oh. My. Gosh. These were so good! I just made them for dinner. By themselves. Just for me. It was fantastic! I love your blog!!!
I believe this is the original recipe:
http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Sausage-Stuffed-Mushrooms-107246
I also think it to be one of the most reviewed recipes on that site! I’ve made these many, many times and they never, ever fail to impress. These are truly an appetizer that disappears so make more than you think you’ll need!
The Epicurious stuffed mushrooms are BY FAR the best stuffed mushrooms. Though I would give the PW recipe a try, I’ll be hard pressed to replace my “go to” recipe linked above.
I’ll have to try that one but trust me, these are good.
I have a romantic dinner next week, I think that the recipe Stuffed Mushrooms is a great idea to this day, so I would like to taste it …..
thanks for the recipe it looks so delicious!!22dd
i am making these now, but have no white wine…i shall make the anyway and let you know how it goes 🙂
Great pic and perfect recipe for when the peoples invade over the next couple weeks! HEHEHE
Allison,

Hi Christy,
I have been following your food blog for a couple of months–and I love it! We eat your parmesan tilapia every month now and my kids love that banana bread. I just thought I’d say hello and thank you for sharing all your great recipes! Hope all is well with your cute family!
