Sausage-Stuffed Mushrooms

Submitted by pittgal

"These are a hit at my annual New Year's Eve Party. Don't forget to add the wine, it adds such great flavor. The recipe was posted in Bon Appetit a number of years ago. These can be assembled the day before and baked right before serving."

These were delicious. I made them for Thanksgiving and everyone raved about them. I made exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing. I had enough filling for about 30 mushrooms. Make sure the cream cheese is nice and soft, otherwise it can be a little hard to mix in. <br/>Thanks so much for a great recipe!

"if i could give you 100 i would my mom made these and they were the best i ever had". This review came from my son "the wannabechef" and I totally agree! I'm so glad I chose you and your recipe from the orphanage. You should have never been there in the first place. How much they didn't know will be our secret. Bet ya.. They'll all gonna try this!!!! Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC Spring2010.

Great stuffed mushrooms! I used garlic and cheese flavored sausages instead of the Italian but followed the rest of the ingredients. The creamy filling is fantastic. We snacked on these watching football today. DH really enjoyed these too. Made for the Herb/Spice of the month in the Gardening Forum!
