Yummy!!! These were so good. I ade a double batch for my weekly pasta night dinner party as an appetizer. Everyone ate them up. I did add about 1/4 cup of onions to the mushrooms while cooking and I really think that they helped to punch up the flavor. I also added a tsp. of red pepper flakes as suggested by some other reviewers but I think that I will skip on these next time. Mine had enough flavor without them and it made the mushrooms a little too spicy for my liking. I have some leftover filling and am trying to think of a creative way to use it up. Maybe as a veggie dip for lunch one day? Anyways, thanks for a recipe I will be sure to use again and again!

I have made these with both button mushrooms and portabellas... They were both good! I didnt have to make any changes at all. The second time I added a bit of diced onion to the mixture just for fun. They help to make the SBD a little more berable. Thanks for sharing mom!

These were good, I guess the only thing is I wish there was a little more textural wise, maybe some panko sprinkled on top?

These were so good and really easy. I added a bit of oregano and crushed pepper to the filling. Served these as a meatless meal for myself and DH ate them as a side to his chop. Thanks for posting this recipe, I'll be making it again.

Wow these were amazing! My only regret was only making one batch. They were gone in minutes. And then everyone talked about how amazing they were the rest of the night. Only thing different I did was add extra cheeses. Because cheese is awesome. I am going to make them again as soon as I can! Thanks for a great recipe!
