This was outstanding! I love stuffed mushrooms, and this recipe is one of the best I have ever had. I did not change a thing off the recipe. It was easy, quick, and delicious. My husband loved it so much he wants me to make it again next week. Thanks for a wonderful recipe that I will be making all the time. Anne
