I have made these with both button mushrooms and portabellas... They were both good! I didnt have to make any changes at all. The second time I added a bit of diced onion to the mixture just for fun. They help to make the SBD a little more berable. Thanks for sharing mom!

Yummy!!! These were so good. I ade a double batch for my weekly pasta night dinner party as an appetizer. Everyone ate them up. I did add about 1/4 cup of onions to the mushrooms while cooking and I really think that they helped to punch up the flavor. I also added a tsp. of red pepper flakes as suggested by some other reviewers but I think that I will skip on these next time. Mine had enough flavor without them and it made the mushrooms a little too spicy for my liking. I have some leftover filling and am trying to think of a creative way to use it up. Maybe as a veggie dip for lunch one day? Anyways, thanks for a recipe I will be sure to use again and again!

Oh my gosh these are so good! The filling--I could have eaten it straight from the bowl, but I figured my guests would like to have some in the mushrooms, sooo...I let them have some, lol. These are the ONLY stuffed mushrooms I'll make from now on. I made them exactly as stated in the recipe, I also doubled it with perfect results. Thanks riff!
