Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms

Submitted by Catnip46

"I had two large mushrooms left and was hungry for stuffed mushrooms but didn't have all of the ingredients for two of the recipes I was interested in. So I used what I had on hand and they turned out extremely good. Since I was only making two I guessed at the measurements so the measurements I have put down are only estimates but I would say are pretty close to what I used. Add more or less to your judgement. You could also use finely cut shrimp or imitation crab meat instead of the sausage but the pork sausage was really good."
