Ellie's Stuffed Mushrooms

Mushrooms stuffed with Italian sausage and Parmesan cheese -- what could be better?

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 12
• Yields: 2 dozen

Ingredients

• 2  lbs fresh mushrooms
• 1  lb Italian sausage, casings removed
• 1 (10 1/2ounce) can  cream of mushroom soup
• 1⁄4 cup  seasoned bread crumbs
• 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

1. Clean mushrooms. Remove and dice the stems and set aside. Brown the sausage until no longer pink, adding the diced mushroom stems when the sausage is nearly done. Add the soup, cheese and breadcrumbs to the mixture and mix well. Remove from heat.
2. Stuff the mushroom caps with the sausage mixture and transfer to an oven-proof casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until piping hot -- baking time will vary a little based on the size of the mushrooms. Serve immediately.
