I love this recipe, I have made these this way for years!

They were quite tasty but I ended up having far more cream cheese than needed. I don't know if it's because I bought the pack of white mushrooms and they were smaller than what the author used but there was ALOT of extra cream cheese mix (and I didn't skimp on the stuffing-of-the-shrooms). I ended up using some of the mix on a bagel and "stuffed" some celery stalks with it. <br/>On another note, they really needed to eaten straight out of the oven. This is not a recipe that you can prepare in advance. But they WERE tasty :)

I made this for a Christmas party and they were a huge hit. The best part is that they took just about no time to make.

EXCELLENT! Easy and fast, fun to make as a group effort with the husband and Mother. Have to watch to make sure I don't eat allthe filling plain though! Also great with a little lemon pepper in the saute, especially Penzeys brand! THankyou so much for the wonderful recipe!

Oh I was a greedy guts in this recipe, I used the filling to fill 3 very large field mushrooms which became a side for the DM, DS and myself with recipe #354588, recipe #123403 and steamed vegetables. I baked them in a fan forced oven at 175C for 30 minutes and they were just right. Will do again but make them the star of the meal with a crisp salad for a nearly veg. meal. Thank you SaffronMeSilly, made for New Kid On The Block.
