Top Secret Stuffed Mushrooms

I have been making these stuffed mushrooms for years. It is mandatory that I bring them to every single family function. Hope you enjoy them!

• Ready In: 55 mins
• Serves: 24
• Yields: 24 mushrooms

Ingredients

• 16  ounces white mushrooms
• 8  ounces  imitation crabmeat
• 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese
• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• 6  ounces herb stuffing mix (I use Stove Top)
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons butter
• 8  tablespoons butter

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Prepare stuffing according to package instructions.
3. Wipe mushrooms with a clean, damp kitchen towel.
4. Separate the musroom stems from the caps, putting the stems in a food processor and the caps in a large baking dish.
5. Add imitation crab meat, garlic, parmesan and most of the stuffing to the food processor.
6. Turn the food processor on and mix until completely blended (no chunks of mushroom stems or crab remaining).
7. Fill the mushroom caps with the stuffing mix (the caps should be "over-filled", this step can be messy).
8. Break the butter up into small pieces and put them in somewhat evenly between the mushrooms.
9. Place baking dish in the oven on center rack, uncovered for 20 - 25 minutes.
10. Add a little bit of sprinkled parmesan cheese on top of the mushrooms, place back in the oven and bake an additional 5 - 7 minutes.
11. Serve!
