Really good! Like another reviewer, I used vegetarian chorizo and omitted the red wine (just baked them with some non-stick cooking spray). I will be making these again!

Very good. My gf and I love chorizo, so I was expanding ways to prepare it. The red wine was a great way to cook it, made the kitchen smell great and gave it more flavor/juice than just using a non-stick spray.

my husband enjoyed this dish very much. didn't use the red wine for baking, just used a little nonstick spray in the bottom of the pan. I also added some canned green chiles to the mix. next time i will add a bit more cheese. made this with cheese quesadillas and salsa. will definitely make this dish again!! :)

I loved this! Even tasted great the next day as the mushrooms "held" up perfectly. Thanks.
