Preparation

Step 1

About 1 hour before serving:

Remove stems from mushrooms; chop stems. Set caps and stems aside.

Preheat oven to 450 F. In 10-inch skillet over medium heat, cook shopped sausage until well browned. With slotted spoon, remove sausage to paper towels to drain. Spoon off all but 2 tablespoons drippings from skillet.

In hot drippings over medium heat, cook mushroom stems until tender, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove skillet from heat; stir in sausage, cheeses, bread crumbs and spices. Fill mushroom caps with sausage mixture. Place stuffed mushrooms in 15 1/2" by 10 1/2" jelly-roll pan. Bake 15 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Serve hot. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen hors d'oeuvres.
