Very tasty! I used mild sausage, because I thought stuffing jalapeno peppers with the hot sausage would make them too hot, but I was wrong! Next time I will use the hot sausage, and there will be a next time! Thank you for sharing this.

I make this with the mushrooms all the time! The bite size mushrooms are the best. I usually make the mixture ahead of time and just reheat what I need to make about 20 mushrooms at a time. Thanks KelBel! :)

Whats not to like--You can't go wrong with this recipe. The stuffing mixture was fantastic. I had some left over and piped it onto crackers. Thanks for posting.
