These Sausage and Cheese Stuffed mushrooms are one of our favorite appetizer recipes. They are super simple to make and they taste AMAZING!! I made these for a dinner party last weekend I wasn’t sure they would actually make it to the party though. Chicken Legs sampled one, then two, then three – you get the idea. He could have made a meal out of these things! The mushrooms are stuffed with a mixture of sausage, Ranch dressing, cheddar cheese, and a dash of red pepper. They are ridiculously good. I could eat the sausage stuffing with a spoon! YUM! Bonus – these are low carb, keto-friendly and gluten-free! Whip up a batch ASAP! You won’t be disappointed.
How to Make Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
This recipe is super easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. Remove stems from mushrooms and discard. Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Place mushroom caps in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and set aside. In a medium skillet, cook ground sausage until crumbled and no longer pink. Drain excess grease. In a large bowl, combine cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and ground red pepper. Fill each mushroom cap with the sausage filling. Bake in a preheated oven until hot and bubbly. Transfer the mushrooms to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley or green onion.
