This absolutely, hands down is the most mouth watering stuffed mushrooms that I have ever made. The marscopone does make drippings when it melts but I simply drained it out and put the pan back in the oven for five minutes more and voila, perfection! These are savory and just fabulous. Use real sherry not the cooking kind for a more robust flavor. Enjoy!

This recipe was very tasty. I only gave it 3 stars because it is too greasy. There is no need to cook the sausage in oil. The drippings create plenty, and once the marscapone melts, it is oily too. To cut down on empty carbs, I reduced the panko. This may have added to my greasiness problem, as the missing panko wasn't soaking up the excess oil. I also added finely chopped apples. All in all, it is delicious, but unnecessarily greasy.

<p>Hello all, being from California, I can honestly say I am a foodie. You can walk by construction workers here and hear them saying things like, So I used some fresh garlic and olive oil, then threw the rest into the pan to sautee. LOL I love all kinds of food, and trying to eat healthier as I get older, but still indulge in the occasional deep-fried food or sweet. <br />I LOVE this site! I have 3 or 4 other food sites such as Epicurious and Food Network, but I always come back here! The ease and all of the features just can't be beat. <br />Thanks Zaar and I look forward to participating more.</p>
