By joanmarie

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound bulk spicy pork sausage
• 24 large fresh mushrooms
• 1/2 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup minced garlic
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded pepper Jack cheese, divided

Preparation

Step 1

In a small skillet, cook sausage over medium heat for 5-6 minutes or until no longer pink; drain.
Remove stems from mushrooms and finely chop; set caps aside. In a large skillet, saute the stems, onions and garlic in butter for 4-5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Stir in the sausage, bread crumbs and 1/2 cup cheese.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons into each mushroom cap. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350° for 22-25 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Yield: 2 dozen.
