stuffed mushrooms made easy
My grandmother's recipe from what she had in the cupboard. I remember her saying it was tough times, we used what we had. My Nana came from Newfoundland, Canada. Kraft has 'extended' recipes on this simple base recipe but this is what we had when we went to Nana's house.

How To Make stuffed mushrooms made easy
-
Step 1Wash mushrooms and remove stems (save stems). Gently clean each mushroom cap so you have a "space" to put the filling. Chop the stems as fine or as course as you like them.
-
Step 2Crush Ritz crackers. Judge how many you will need by how many mushrooms you have and how big they are. NOTE: Ritz crackers are the best. You could use other crackers but Nana preferred Ritz.
-
Step 3Add chopped stems to crushed mushrooms. Again, this is guess work depending how how much mushroom taste you like. I use 1/4 chopped mushrooms to 3/4 crushed crackers. Like Nana use to say "wing it"
-
Step 4Pour melted butter over cracker mix just enough to moisten and stay together. Again, use more or less depending on how many mushrooms you have. Fill mushrooms. Bake 350 for 15 - 20 minutes.
-
Step 5You can add to or adjust this according to taste. Remember Nana didn't have much back then so she kept it simple. I have added fresh sauteed spinach. Other times I simply sprinkle cheese on top and put back in the oven just until melted. This is a good basic recipe, Create and Enjoy!
