Stuffed Mushrooms - Low Carb

Submitted by Queen Eeyore

"This is a low-carb modification of my Mom's stuffed mushroom recipe. It is so tasty and delicious, even she didn't notice the low-carb substitutions."

 

• Ready In: 16mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 7-9

ingredients

• 1 lb fresh large mushroom, cleaned and stemmed
• 1⁄8 cup chopped mushroom stems
• 4 -6 ounces cream cheese
• 1⁄2 lb sausage, cooked and crumbled
• 1⁄4 cup crushed pork rind (I use Tabasco flavored, any kind will do)

directions

1. Mix cooked sausage, cream cheese, mushroom stems and crushed pork rinds in a bowl.
2. Place mushrooms in a microwave-proof glass container, I typically use the 9" cake pan.
3. Stuff with filling, cover with plastic wrap, and fold back a corner of the plastic wrap.
4. Cook on high in the microwave for 5-6 minutes, or until mushrooms are moist and stuffing has melted a little.
5. Leftover stuffing can be rolled into balls and cooked in the sausage grease.

I usually reserve the cream cheese (or cheddar) and use it to plug the mushrooms. Optional additions - shallots and peppers. Thanks.

this allmost the same as i make. i use peppered bacon instead of the pork rinds. i made them as you posted in your recipe and they are great. sometimes i put some finely diced onion cooked in the bacon fat.
