Easy & Delicious Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

Submitted by Corilayn

"This is a delicious,cheap,easy and you can prepare this ahead of time... AWESOME . When we get our limit for the day, and have extra after the feast, I prepare this (either the 'stuffing' or the stuffed mushrooms) easily. Set it in the fridge overnight. It's super simple/cheap (requirements) and very impressive. If you can get out and catch your own crab..it makes this a very cheap dish."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 24-36 appetizers
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 24 -36 white button mushrooms, depending on the size
• 1⁄2 cup green onion, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Club House parmesan and herbs
• 1⁄3 margarine
• 1⁄3 cup cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 1⁄2 cups crab
• 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese
• 1⁄2 cup mushroom, from the stems (optional)
• 1⁄2 cup dried breadcrumbs

directions

1. Wash and take the stems out of the mushrooms,set aside.
2. Combine green onions,garlic,margarine,cream cheese, and seasoning in a bowl and microwave on high for 1 min, stir, microwave again for 1 minute.
3. Stir and add crab, mushrooms and parmesan.
4. At this point, the mixture should be fairly thick,(and not too buttery, you'll be able to tell if you see it on the edges of the bowl -- if you see 'too much' add some bread crumbs for a better outcome) You want a thick porridge like consistency at this point.
5. You could now store this mixture or if you had stuffed the mushrooms -- they can be refrigerated and heated and served the next day.
6. Stuff mushroom caps and top with additional sprinkle of bread crumbs and/or cheese, if desired.
7. Heat at 375 for 10-20 mins, or until bubbling hot.
8. Let rest for about 5-10 mins coz the fillings are gonna be HOT!
9. The reason this recipe is so easy is because steps can be done ahead of time and it's still turns out delicious every single time we do this. Oh -- and it's SOOOO versatile -- got one ingredient but not other? -- change it -- it's still great :).
