Make these crowd-pleasing Italian Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms for your next party or gathering. They are savory, cheesy, and simple to bake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large white or cremini mushrooms
  • 1 pound mild or hot Italian sausage, casing removed
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth. Carefully remove the stems and finely chop the stems. Set the mushroom caps aside.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Add the Italian sausage to the skillet with the cooked stems. Break up the sausage with a spoon and cook until it is fully browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  5. Transfer the sausage and stem mixture to a medium bowl. Let it cool slightly.
  6. Add the softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and chopped parsley to the sausage mixture. Stir everything together until it is well combined and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Arrange the mushroom caps cavity-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Spoon the sausage filling evenly into each mushroom cap, mounding it slightly.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown on top.
  10. Let the stuffed mushrooms cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • To prevent soggy mushrooms, wipe them clean instead of washing them, and make sure to cook the moisture out of the stems before mixing the filling.
  • You can prepare the filling up to one day ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator. Stuff the mushrooms just before baking.
  • For a richer flavor, use hot Italian sausage. For a milder taste, use sweet Italian sausage.
